Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho W
43.3015° S, 15.3844° W · cell 21GFT
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho Y: 8.3° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 197°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 136°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,450 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.7° high at azimuth 63°, 22.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:53:23 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.
