Horizon view
Horizon from Abel C
36.1273° S, 81.4094° E · cell 33HGG
- Highest horizon point
- Abel C: 8.0° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 172°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,703 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.5° high at azimuth 302°, 33.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:14 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.
