Horizon view
Horizon from D'Arsonval A
8.4025° S, 124.9618° E · cell 39LBV
- Highest horizon point
- D'Arsonval A: 8.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 223°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 86°, 7.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,713 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:46 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.
