Horizon view
Horizon from Cuvier O
51.7772° S, 12.0506° E · cell 25FCT
- Highest horizon point
- Cuvier O: 9.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 249°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 9°, 7.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,729 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.8° high at azimuth 30°, 28.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:53 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.
