Horizon view
Horizon from Pikel'ner Y
47.7456° S, 123.9224° E · cell 38GJH
- Highest horizon point
- Pikel'ner Y: 10.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 330°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 140°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 151 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 273° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.0°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:34 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.
