Horizon view
Horizon from Posidonius A
31.6858° N, 29.5245° E · cell 27RCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Posidonius: 18.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 88°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 212°, 16.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,874 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.9° high at azimuth 164°, 38.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:37 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.
