Horizon view
Horizon from Alden B
20.5990° S, 113.1091° E · cell 37KGR
- Highest horizon point
- Alden B: 20.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 28°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 259°, 18.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 773 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 274° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:14 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.
