Horizon view
Horizon from Vitruvius L
18.9358° N, 30.6753° E · cell 27QDN
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Vitruvius: 20.2° above the horizontal, 2.13 km away at azimuth 281°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.3 km away at azimuth 135°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,423 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.2° high at azimuth 158°, 67.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:40 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
