Horizon view
Horizon from Biela B
56.7246° S, 50.0263° E · cell 29EGS
- Highest horizon point
- Biela B: 11.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 20°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 177°, 6.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,386 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.8° high at azimuth 345°, 24.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:18 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.
