Horizon view
Horizon from Cuvier L
48.9207° S, 9.7623° E · cell 24FGL
- Highest horizon point
- Cuvier L: 12.9° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 50°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,277 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.9° high at azimuth 38°, 25.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:01 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.
