Horizon view
Horizon from Backlund R
16.9008° S, 101.8657° E · cell 36KCK
- Highest horizon point
- Backlund R: 15.2° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 35°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 68°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 553 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.5° high at azimuth 276°, 18.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:48 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.
