Horizon view
Horizon from Pikel'ner S
49.4499° S, 121.1029° E · cell 38FFF
- Highest horizon point
- Pikel'ner S: 12.6° above the horizontal, 30.3 km away at azimuth 312°.
- Farthest visible point
- 81.5 km away at azimuth 203°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,561 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 276° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:57 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.
