Horizon view
Horizon from Pirquet S
20.5214° S, 138.0936° E · cell 40KHR
- Highest horizon point
- Pirquet S: 9.6° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 291°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 45°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 30 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 9.0° under it at azimuth 265°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:24 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.
