Horizon view
Horizon from Vega A
47.2502° S, 65.1531° E · cell 31GFC
- Highest horizon point
- Vega A: 21.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 27°, 19.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,251 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.5° high at azimuth 325°, 18.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:17 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.
