Horizon view
Horizon from Thebit A
21.5799° S, 4.9271° W · cell 22KJP
- Highest horizon point
- Thebit A: 17.3° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 240°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 23°, 14.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,119 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.2° high at azimuth 70°, 29.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:35:16 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.
