Horizon view
Horizon from Clausius D
38.2179° S, 44.7089° W · cell 17HJU
- Highest horizon point
- Clausius D: 6.2° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 226°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 344 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.2° high at azimuth 86°, 5.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:26 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.
