Horizon view
Horizon from Sasserides K
38.9735° S, 7.3920° W · cell 22HFN
- Highest horizon point
- Sasserides K: 10.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 58°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 164°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 544 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.0° high at azimuth 59°, 23.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:13 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.
