Horizon view
Horizon from Mees J
12.2929° N, 94.8569° W · cell 11PGV
- Highest horizon point
- Mees J: 9.6° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 82°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 208°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 190 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 44.9° under it at azimuth 79°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:15 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.
