Horizon view
Horizon from Taruntius U
5.5371° N, 50.1304° E · cell 29NHM
- Highest horizon point
- Taruntius U: 5.1° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 93°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 87°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,474 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 75.3° high at azimuth 242°, 71.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:44 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.
