Horizon view
Horizon from Nöggerath J
48.4778° S, 48.0137° W · cell 17FEG
- Highest horizon point
- Nöggerath J: 18.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 154°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 57°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,722 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.0°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:19 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.
