Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach V
26.7457° S, 0.3571° W · cell 23JEN
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach V: 13.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 64°.
- Farthest visible point
- 144 km away at azimuth 327°, -1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 45 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.3° high at azimuth 61°, 33.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:27 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.
