Horizon view
Horizon from Buffon
40.6442° S, 133.5339° W · cell 6GHA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.0° above the horizontal, 47.4 km away at azimuth 351°.
- Farthest visible point
- 59.7 km away at azimuth 126°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,750 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 47.7° under it at azimuth 172°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:01 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.
