Horizon view
Horizon from Meitner J
12.2650° S, 115.5742° E · cell 37LKF
- Highest horizon point
- Meitner J: 20.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 123°, 14.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 419 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 272° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.5°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:08 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.
