Horizon view
Horizon from Piccolomini N
27.3685° S, 26.2650° E · cell 26JHM
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini N: 15.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 4°, 13.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 956 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.3° high at azimuth 22°, 48.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:20 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
