Horizon view
Horizon from Balmer Q
18.6906° S, 70.4986° E · cell 32KDC
- Highest horizon point
- Balmer Q: 12.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 74°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,160 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.1° high at azimuth 295°, 43.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:09 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.
