Horizon view
Horizon from Chaplygin Y
2.7126° S, 149.6404° E · cell 42MCG
- Highest horizon point
- Chaplygin Y: 12.2° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 117°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 4°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 489 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.6° under it at azimuth 267°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:46 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.
