Horizon view
Horizon from Vesalius G
3.9551° S, 117.6132° E · cell 38MCA
- Highest horizon point
- Vesalius G: 17.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 310°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 155°, 15.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 65 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.8°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:49 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.
