Horizon from 8 Homeward
12.0249° S, 97.0932° E · cell 35LGL
- Highest horizon point
- 8 Homeward: 21.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 298°, 20.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 313 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.7° high at azimuth 275°, 9.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:53 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.
