Horizon from Piccolomini X
27.0338° S, 31.4963° E · cell 27JET
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini F: 9.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 235°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 104°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 786 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.5° high at azimuth 16°, 58.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:06 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.
