Horizon view
Horizon from Helmert
7.5640° S, 87.6719° E · cell 34MEL
- Highest horizon point
- Helmert: 6.9° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 123°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,501 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.9° high at azimuth 275°, 40.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:59 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.
