Horizon view
Horizon from Gernsback J
37.8061° S, 101.7858° E · cell 36HCE
- Highest horizon point
- Gernsback J: 14.2° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 79°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 24°, 11.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,193 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.7° high at azimuth 285°, 9.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:34 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.
