Horizon from Beketov
16.2309° N, 29.1769° E · cell 27QBK
- Highest horizon point
- Beketov: 11.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 26°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 68°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,424 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.3° high at azimuth 153°, 60.0° 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.
