Horizon view
Horizon from Chaplygin K
7.6783° S, 151.3566° E · cell 42MEA
- Highest horizon point
- Chaplygin K: 20.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 183°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 212°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 710 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.7° under it at azimuth 265°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:10 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.
