Horizon view
Horizon from Biela C
54.2834° S, 53.4971° E · cell 30FDE
- Highest horizon point
- Biela C: 13.5° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 157°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 64°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,975 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.5° high at azimuth 340°, 25.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:58:01 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.
