Horizon view
Horizon from Cook A
17.7569° S, 49.2063° E · cell 29KGD
- Highest horizon point
- Cook: 11.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 869 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 69.6° high at azimuth 322°, 60.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:18 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.
