Horizon view
Horizon from Daedalus B
4.1297° S, 179.8679° W · cell 1MAQ
- Highest horizon point
- Daedalus B: 17.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 172°, 13.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,775 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 51.3° under it at azimuth 263°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:21 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.
