Horizon from Gernsback H
38.4115° S, 103.1705° E · cell 36HED
- Highest horizon point
- Gernsback H: 7.6° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 102°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 224°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 989 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.4° high at azimuth 285°, 16.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:46 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.
