Horizon view
Horizon from Rhaeticus
0.0318° N, 4.9241° E · cell 24NBL
- Highest horizon point
- Rhaeticus: 5.2° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 273°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 250 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.7° high at azimuth 93°, 53.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:25 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.
