Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius A
23.0397° S, 27.9751° E · cell 26KKT
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius A: 25.9° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 25.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,104 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.0° high at azimuth 21°, 42.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:20:17 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.
