Horizon from Palitzsch B
26.4144° S, 68.3880° E · cell 32JBN
- Highest horizon point
- Palitzsch B: 12.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 61°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 183°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,149 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.8° high at azimuth 306°, 42.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:49 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.
