Horizon view
Horizon from Rhaeticus B
1.6003° N, 6.8021° E · cell 24NDM
- Highest horizon point
- Rhaeticus B: 18.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 173°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 315 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 60.1° high at azimuth 96°, 48.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:20 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.
