Horizon from Atwood
5.8770° S, 57.7750° E · cell 30MHC
- Highest horizon point
- Atwood: 7.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 303°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 263°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,425 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.6° high at azimuth 284°, 64.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:24:21 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.
