Horizon view
Horizon from Phillips B
23.2111° S, 70.5897° E · cell 32KDS
- Highest horizon point
- Phillips B: 5.2° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 196°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 978 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.9° high at azimuth 300°, 48.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:21 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.
