Horizon view
Horizon from Bayer L
47.5186° S, 33.6927° W · cell 19GDC
- Highest horizon point
- Bayer L: 20.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 62°, 19.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,259 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 75° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.8°. At 2026-10-22 21:45:57 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.
