Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov G
11.2593° S, 146.7031° W · cell 5LBM
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov G: 15.8° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 24°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 14.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,204 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 75.9° under it at azimuth 207°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:12 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.
