Horizon view
Horizon from Cuvier B
51.7056° S, 13.8037° E · cell 25FDT
- Highest horizon point
- Cuvier B: 12.9° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 66°, 11.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,555 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.4° high at azimuth 28°, 24.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:22:13 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.
