Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius
22.4634° S, 25.6274° E · cell 26KGT
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius: 7.3° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 34°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 193 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.7° high at azimuth 27°, 60.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:20:23 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.
