Horizon view
Horizon from Thebit U
20.3498° S, 5.8733° W · cell 22KHR
- Highest horizon point
- Thebit U: 3.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 58°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,537 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.7° high at azimuth 71°, 41.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:55 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.
