Horizon view
Horizon from Mees Y
15.7272° N, 96.7427° W · cell 11PEE
- Highest horizon point
- Mees Y: 8.4° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 64.4 km away at azimuth 328°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,120 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.0° under it at azimuth 75°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:28 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.
