Horizon view
Horizon from Cartwright
87.6500° S, 46.9500° W · cell AXP
- Highest horizon point
- Cartwright: 26.1° above the horizontal, 4.96 km away at azimuth 116°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.84 km away at azimuth 329°, 20.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,331 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 88° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 25.2°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:07 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
