Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach C
27.7418° S, 4.6502° W · cell 22JJG
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach C: 9.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 87°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 804 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.2° high at azimuth 64°, 34.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:11 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.
