Horizon view
Horizon from Taylor
5.2823° S, 16.6479° E · cell 25MFP
- Highest horizon point
- Taylor: 10.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 272°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 173°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 669 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.5° high at azimuth 79°, 65.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:43 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.
