Horizon from Vesalius D
2.4947° S, 117.0686° E · cell 38MBB
- Highest horizon point
- Vesalius D: 6.3° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 136°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 217°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 423 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 14.0° high at azimuth 269°, 7.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:05 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.
