Horizon view
Horizon from Biela U
53.6581° S, 49.3061° E · cell 29FFV
- Highest horizon point
- Biela U: 10.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 109°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 172°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,815 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.8° high at azimuth 345°, 32.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:59 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.
