Horizon from Xu Xiake
40.9000° S, 153.7600° W · cell 4GDL
- Highest horizon point
- Xu Xiake: 2.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 195°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 67°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,240 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 45.6° under it at azimuth 202°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:32 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.
