Horizon view
Horizon from Spörer
4.3025° S, 1.7745° W · cell 23MCV
- Highest horizon point
- Spörer: 3.5° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 181°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 224°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 14 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.8° high at azimuth 87°, 48.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:28 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.
