Horizon view
Horizon from Nicolai Z
40.9554° S, 21.4656° E · cell 26GCR
- Highest horizon point
- Nicolai Z: 7.9° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 172°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 25°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 713 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 24°, 42.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:54 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.
