Horizon from Alden
23.5084° S, 111.1141° E · cell 37KEM
- Highest horizon point
- Alden: 7.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 205°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 287°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 375 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.4° high at azimuth 277°, 17.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:38 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.
