Horizon view
Horizon from Ross B
11.3800° N, 20.1742° E · cell 26PAU
- Highest horizon point
- Ross B: 9.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,001 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.7° high at azimuth 120°, 58.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:40 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.
