Horizon view
Horizon from Vendelinus Y
17.5775° S, 62.2438° E · cell 31KCU
- Highest horizon point
- Vendelinus Y: 8.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 165°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,823 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.5° high at azimuth 302°, 54.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:09 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.
