Horizon view
Horizon from Piccolomini S
31.6361° S, 34.0908° E · cell 27JHM
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini S: 13.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 694 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.5° high at azimuth 8°, 52.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:04 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.
