Horizon view
Horizon from Chaplygin B
4.0800° S, 151.6900° E · cell 42MEF
- Highest horizon point
- Chaplygin B: 1.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 116°.
- Farthest visible point
- 136 km away at azimuth 189°, -2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,280 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.7° under it at azimuth 267°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:14 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.
