Horizon view
Horizon from Palitzsch A
26.9560° S, 65.6835° E · cell 31JGH
- Highest horizon point
- Palitzsch A: 9.3° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 290°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 2°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,146 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.4° high at azimuth 310°, 46.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:50 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.
