Horizon view
Horizon from Young
41.5419° S, 50.9763° E · cell 29GHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Young: 6.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 295°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,651 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.8° high at azimuth 345°, 44.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:11 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.
