Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov
10.4740° S, 148.9851° W · cell 4LJH
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov: 8.0° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 357°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 154°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,263 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 74.5° under it at azimuth 221°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:31 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.
