Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus
16.4576° S, 61.5456° E · cell 31KCA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.4° above the horizontal, 66.3 km away at azimuth 231°.
- Farthest visible point
- 88.1 km away at azimuth 16°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,759 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.8° high at azimuth 305°, 64.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:54 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.
