Horizon view
Horizon from Paracelsus P
24.7878° S, 161.8797° E · cell 43JHK
- Highest horizon point
- Paracelsus P: 7.3° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 5°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 117°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,167 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.1° under it at azimuth 255°. At 2026-10-22 11:04:58 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.
