Horizon from Kira
17.7073° S, 132.8316° E · cell 40KBU
- Highest horizon point
- Patsaev: 13.5° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 73°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 217°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 789 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.5° under it at azimuth 268°. At 2026-10-22 13:34:16 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.
