Horizon view
Horizon from Balmer S
18.5748° S, 67.6349° E · cell 31KKT
- Highest horizon point
- Balmer S: 9.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 136°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 9°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,576 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.3° high at azimuth 297°, 49.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:55 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.
