Horizon view
Horizon from Babcock
4.1343° N, 94.1357° E · cell 35NCL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.4° above the horizontal, 47.4 km away at azimuth 130°.
- Farthest visible point
- 68.2 km away at azimuth 23°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,846 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.7° high at azimuth 265°, 36.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:01 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.
