Horizon from Timiryazev S
5.6290° S, 149.5072° W · cell 4MJP
- Highest horizon point
- Timiryazev S: 7.7° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 268°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 14°, 6.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,353 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 77.4° under it at azimuth 237°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:37 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.
