Horizon view
Horizon from Beals
37.1090° N, 86.5785° E · cell 34SDE
- Highest horizon point
- Beals: 7.6° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 98°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,295 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.0° high at azimuth 238°, 26.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:10 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.
