Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus W
14.5912° S, 58.6966° E · cell 30LJN
- Highest horizon point
- Vendelinus W: 9.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 86°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,671 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.6° high at azimuth 301°, 56.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:09 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.
