Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai L
44.2852° S, 25.6969° E · cell 26GGM
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai L: 7.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 281°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 200°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,054 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.3° high at azimuth 14°, 40.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:33:02 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.
