Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach Y
25.8749° S, 6.9345° W · cell 22JGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach Y: 2.8° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 142°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 126°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,597 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.3° high at azimuth 69°, 37.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:55 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.
