Horizon view
Horizon from Shirakatsi
12.1836° S, 128.5590° E · cell 39LFR
- Highest horizon point
- Shirakatsi: 12.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 248°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 287°, 7.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 160 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:04 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.
