Horizon view
Horizon from Nicollet
21.9484° S, 12.4958° W · cell 21KJD
- Highest horizon point
- Nicollet: 14.5° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 11°, 12.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,806 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.5° high at azimuth 73°, 27.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:38 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.
