Horizon view
Horizon from Tyndall
35.2009° S, 117.6442° E · cell 38HCC
- Highest horizon point
- Tyndall: 11.7° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 252°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 66°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,047 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 276°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (10.7° high, the skyline 10.7°). At 2026-10-22 13:34:13 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.
