Horizon from Mallet A
45.9891° S, 53.9822° E · cell 30GDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Mallet A: 14.3° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 202°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 174°, 9.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,290 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.3° high at azimuth 338°, 36.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:28 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.
