Horizon view
Horizon from Taruntius K
0.6460° N, 51.5721° E · cell 29NKF
- Highest horizon point
- Taruntius K: 16.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 346°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 154°, 11.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,976 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 76.7° high at azimuth 261°, 63.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:51 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.
