Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai B
43.2064° S, 25.2634° E · cell 26GGN
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai B: 11.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 61°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 770 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.1° high at azimuth 16°, 36.8° 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.
