Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai J
40.6546° S, 22.0416° E · cell 26GDR
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai J: 15.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 460 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.6° high at azimuth 22°, 37.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:17:22 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.
