Horizon view
Horizon from Rhaeticus A
1.7269° N, 5.1822° E · cell 24NBN
- Highest horizon point
- Rhaeticus A: 10.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 42°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 929 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.9° high at azimuth 95°, 48.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:29 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.
