Horizon view
Horizon from Biela Z
53.8956° S, 57.0042° E · cell 30FFE
- Highest horizon point
- Biela Z: 4.7° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 86°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 26°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,209 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.8° high at azimuth 340°, 33.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:55:00 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.
