Horizon view
Horizon from Perepelkin
9.9891° S, 128.8002° E · cell 39LFT
- Highest horizon point
- Perepelkin: 6.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 38°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 264°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 560 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:48 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.
