Horizon view
Horizon from Dobrovol'skiy
12.8347° S, 129.6762° E · cell 39LGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Dobrovol'skiy: 8.5° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 340°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 199°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,244 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.3°. At 2026-10-22 13:44:57 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.
