Horizon view
Horizon from Thomson M
35.9796° S, 166.4401° E · cell 44HDB
- Highest horizon point
- Thomson M: 2.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 100 km away at azimuth 241°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,669 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.4° under it at azimuth 246°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:42 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.
