Horizon view
Horizon from Posidonius M
34.3556° N, 30.0079° E · cell 27SDM
- Highest horizon point
- Posidonius M: 19.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 103°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 144°, 17.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,297 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.4° high at azimuth 166°, 35.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:45 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.
