Horizon from Maksutov U
40.2968° S, 171.0100° W · cell 2GCS
- Highest horizon point
- Maksutov U: 13.9° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 142°, 11.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,594 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 39.8° under it at azimuth 222°. At 2026-10-22 13:44:54 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.
