Horizon view
Horizon from Rhaeticus J
0.7051° S, 3.1822° E · cell 23MJE
- Highest horizon point
- Rhaeticus J: 3.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 205°.
- Farthest visible point
- 80.5 km away at azimuth 69°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 56 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.9° high at azimuth 91°, 54.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:29 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.
