Horizon view
Horizon from Boyle A
50.9946° S, 178.1353° E · cell 45FGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Boyle A: 14.0° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 317°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 264°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,802 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.5° under it at azimuth 227°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:28 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.
