Horizon view
Horizon from Stein K
5.1149° N, 179.9704° W · cell 1NAG
- Highest horizon point
- Stein K: 16.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 169°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,058 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 50.1° under it at azimuth 274°. At 2026-10-22 13:34:13 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.
