Horizon view
Horizon from Thebit D
19.7866° S, 8.2623° W · cell 22KES
- Highest horizon point
- Thebit D: 12.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 167°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 41°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,308 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.6° high at azimuth 73°, 31.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:27 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.
