Horizon from Stöfler U
40.1747° S, 9.5768° E · cell 24GGB
- Highest horizon point
- Stöfler U: 10.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 112°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 442 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.8° high at azimuth 40°, 36.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:30 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.
