Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus S
15.4033° S, 57.9818° E · cell 30LHM
- Highest horizon point
- Vendelinus S: 7.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 34°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 95°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,169 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.8° high at azimuth 304°, 59.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:00 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.
