Horizon view
Horizon from Daedalus S
6.6944° S, 172.8746° E · cell 45MBB
- Highest horizon point
- Daedalus S: 16.8° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 126°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 24°, 11.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 243 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.2° under it at azimuth 261°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:19 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.
