Horizon view
Horizon from Thomson J
36.1538° S, 169.8039° E · cell 44HGB
- Highest horizon point
- Thomson J: 8.6° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 214°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,458 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 30.3° under it at azimuth 243°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:09 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.
