Horizon view
Horizon from Koch U
41.6958° S, 147.7031° E · cell 41GJQ
- Highest horizon point
- Koch U: 15.3° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 115°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 625 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.4° under it at azimuth 257°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:55 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.
