Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov C
9.3736° S, 148.0561° W · cell 4LKJ
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov C: 10.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 204°.
- Farthest visible point
- 58.8 km away at azimuth 126°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,672 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 76.8° under it at azimuth 216°. At 2026-10-22 13:48:57 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.
