Horizon from Houtermans
9.4194° S, 87.3760° E · cell 34LEJ
- Highest horizon point
- Houtermans: 7.1° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 26°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 222°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,205 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.3° high at azimuth 276°, 33.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:46 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.
