Horizon view
Horizon from Mallet L
47.8272° S, 55.4829° E · cell 30GEN
- Highest horizon point
- Mallet L: 18.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 88°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 38°, 14.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,644 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.6° high at azimuth 339°, 30.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:05 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.
