Horizon view
Horizon from Posidonius N
29.7006° N, 21.0356° E · cell 26RBB
- Highest horizon point
- Posidonius N: 11.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 330°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,146 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.5° high at azimuth 145°, 43.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:23 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.
