Horizon view
Horizon from Van Maanen K
32.8914° N, 129.1439° E · cell 39SGK
- Highest horizon point
- Van Maanen K: 15.7° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 56°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,005 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.9° under it at azimuth 270°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:41 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.
