Horizon view
Horizon from Mandel'shtam Y
9.0914° N, 161.6755° E · cell 43PHM
- Highest horizon point
- Mandel'shtam Y: 11.1° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 153°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 333°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 553 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 32.5° under it at azimuth 274°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:20 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.
