Horizon view
Horizon from Theophilus
11.4524° S, 26.2847° E · cell 26LHM
- Highest horizon point
- Theophilus: 23.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 59°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 227°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,709 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 72.2° high at azimuth 57°, 49.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:59:45 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.
