Horizon view
Horizon from Vesalius H
4.2349° S, 119.1649° E · cell 38MDV
- Highest horizon point
- Vesalius H: 7.7° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 113°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 174°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 142 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.9° high at azimuth 269°, 2.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:07 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.
