Horizon view
Horizon from Sasserides S
38.7523° S, 8.0841° W · cell 22HEP
- Highest horizon point
- Sasserides S: 9.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 150°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 334°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,336 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.5° high at azimuth 62°, 27.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:01 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.
