Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach E
21.6816° S, 0.7266° W · cell 23KEU
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach E: 4.0° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 1°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 603 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.6° high at azimuth 68°, 44.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:25 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.
