Horizon view
Horizon from Büsching D
38.7528° S, 21.8028° E · cell 26HCU
- Highest horizon point
- Büsching D: 6.7° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 102°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 239°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 736 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.9° high at azimuth 25°, 45.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:33 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.
