Horizon view
Horizon from Sierpinski
26.9349° S, 154.8096° E · cell 42JJT
- Highest horizon point
- Sierpinski: 9.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 266°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 348°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,567 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 20.4° under it at azimuth 257°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:18 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.
