5.0866° S, 147.1467° W · cell 5MBU
- Highest horizon point
- Timiryazev: 9.5° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 312°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 250°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,872 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 79.6° under it at azimuth 232°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:06 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.
