Horizon view
Horizon from Clavius J
58.1679° S, 18.1697° W · cell 21EDV
- Highest horizon point
- Clavius J: 19.4° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 263°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,917 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 17.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 62° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.4°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:25 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.
