Horizon view
Horizon from Katchalsky
5.9060° N, 116.0746° E · cell 38NAN
- Highest horizon point
- Katchalsky: 11.0° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 128°, 8.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 618 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.2° high at azimuth 268°, 1.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:22 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.
