Horizon view
Horizon from Thebit S
24.8815° S, 7.2168° W · cell 22JFK
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach H: 1.4° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 119°.
- Farthest visible point
- 89.1 km away at azimuth 81°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,737 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.1° high at azimuth 69°, 39.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:46 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.
