Horizon view
Horizon from Backlund
16.2170° S, 103.3466° E · cell 36KEL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.0° above the horizontal, 37.9 km away at azimuth 88°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 21°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 834 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.9° high at azimuth 277°, 22.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:09 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.
