Horizon view
Horizon from Büsching G
39.5715° S, 21.5430° E · cell 26HCT
- Highest horizon point
- Büsching G: 7.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 154°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 671 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.5° high at azimuth 23°, 42.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:17:21 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.
