Horizon view
Horizon from Ritchey
11.1285° S, 8.4767° E · cell 24LFS
- Highest horizon point
- Ritchey: 7.5° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 16°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 281°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 74 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 60.7° high at azimuth 72°, 55.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:08 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.
