Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai K
42.8863° S, 28.0923° E · cell 27GBT
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai K: 3.2° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 64°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 164°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 970 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.9° high at azimuth 12°, 45.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:53 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.
