Horizon view
Horizon from Alden V
22.7048° S, 110.4641° E · cell 37KDN
- Highest horizon point
- Alden: 22.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 102°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 190°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,308 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 16.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 276° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:20 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.
