Horizon from Purkyně D
0.9651° S, 96.0358° E · cell 35MFD
- Highest horizon point
- Purkyně D: 22.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,258 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.7° high at azimuth 269°, 12.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:19 UTC, when this page was served.
