Horizon view
Horizon from Pikel'ner
48.3682° S, 124.2473° E · cell 39FBM
- Highest horizon point
- Pikel'ner: 9.6° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 334°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,307 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 272° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.7°. At 2026-10-22 16:56:49 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.
