Horizon view
Horizon from Snellius Y
25.7356° S, 52.2126° E · cell 30JAU
- Highest horizon point
- Snellius Y: 17.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 109°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,775 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.2° high at azimuth 325°, 44.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:30:45 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.
