Horizon view
Horizon from Vitruvius B
16.3717° N, 32.9637° E · cell 27QGK
- Highest horizon point
- Vitruvius B: 12.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 65°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,372 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.4° high at azimuth 162°, 62.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:33 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.
