Horizon from Backlund S
16.9228° S, 100.9904° E · cell 36KBK
- Highest horizon point
- Backlund S: 14.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 63°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,221 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.8° high at azimuth 276°, 9.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:22 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.
