Horizon from McKellar T
15.1443° S, 173.0196° W · cell 1LJB
- Highest horizon point
- McKellar T: 12.4° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 286°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 49°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,295 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 55.5° under it at azimuth 244°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:23 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.
