Horizon view
Horizon from Thomson V
30.6993° S, 162.4105° E · cell 43JHC
- Highest horizon point
- Thomson V: 17.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 195°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,448 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 28.6° under it at azimuth 249°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:55 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.
