Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai A
42.4675° S, 23.5967° E · cell 26GEP
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai A: 24.2° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 104°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 179°, 23.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,946 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.4° high at azimuth 19°, 23.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:52 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.
