Horizon view
Horizon from Maksutov
40.7470° S, 168.6529° W · cell 2GER
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.4° above the horizontal, 42.6 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 82°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,075 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.0° under it at azimuth 220°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:28 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 10x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 57°.
