Horizon from Burckhardt E
30.5688° N, 55.5543° E · cell 30REH
- Highest horizon point
- Burckhardt: 6.2° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 344°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 11°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 332 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.5° high at azimuth 209°, 50.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:08 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.
