Horizon view
Horizon from Snellius A
27.4288° S, 53.6752° E · cell 30JCS
- Highest horizon point
- Snellius A: 11.4° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 191°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,720 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.5° high at azimuth 326°, 50.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:42 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.
