Horizon from Purkyně U
0.7481° S, 91.6422° E · cell 34MKV
- Highest horizon point
- Purkyně U: 4.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 101 km away at azimuth 165°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,757 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.1° high at azimuth 269°, 38.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:57 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.
