Horizon from Sechenov
6.9731° S, 143.0887° W · cell 5MGS
- Highest horizon point
- Sechenov: 12.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 293°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,692 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 80.9° under it at azimuth 204°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:41 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.
