Horizon from Parkhurst K
36.1881° S, 105.0362° E · cell 36HGG
- Highest horizon point
- Parkhurst K: 12.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 33°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 172°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,660 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.5° high at azimuth 283°, 8.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:47 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.
