Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov D
9.7417° S, 147.1932° W · cell 5LBP
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov D: 6.8° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 316°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,656 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 76.9° under it at azimuth 213°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:20 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.
