Horizon view
Horizon from Daedalus K
8.2174° S, 178.5920° W · cell 1LBL
- Highest horizon point
- Daedalus K: 15.2° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 267°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 819 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 53.1° under it at azimuth 257°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:28 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.
