Horizon view
Horizon from Van de Graaff
27.0413° S, 172.0080° E · cell 45JAT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.0° above the horizontal, 56.9 km away at azimuth 315°.
- Farthest visible point
- 114 km away at azimuth 26°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,095 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 35.0° under it at azimuth 247°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:57 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.
