Horizon view
Horizon from Mandel'shtam R
4.4044° N, 159.7941° E · cell 43NEF
- Highest horizon point
- Mandel'shtam R: 7.9° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 79°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 95 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 28.8° under it at azimuth 271°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:43 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.
