Horizon view
Horizon from Zach A
62.6109° S, 4.9922° E · cell 24EDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Zach A: 8.2° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 165°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 38°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,544 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.5° high at azimuth 39°, 17.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:29:49 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.
