Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach J
27.5143° S, 3.9668° W · cell 23JAM
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach J: 20.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 47°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 300°, 13.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,248 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.5° high at azimuth 65°, 21.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:51 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.
