Horizon view
Horizon from Gerasimovich
22.9519° S, 123.4191° W · cell 8KBT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.3° above the horizontal, 42.6 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 145°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 457 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 61.4° under it at azimuth 146°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:21 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.
