Horizon from Chauvenet S
12.2895° S, 134.4146° E · cell 40LDF
- Highest horizon point
- Chauvenet S: 8.1° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 175°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 331°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,245 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 4.4° under it at azimuth 268°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:01 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.
