Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai C
44.1160° S, 28.8966° E · cell 27GCS
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai C: 5.3° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 88°, 1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,490 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.9° high at azimuth 9°, 43.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:32:41 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.
