Horizon view
Horizon from Zwicky R
18.1270° S, 163.5865° E · cell 43KKT
- Highest horizon point
- Zwicky R: 13.3° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 121°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 35°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,837 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 33.5° under it at azimuth 256°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:17 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.
