Horizon view
Horizon from Daedalus U
4.1650° S, 174.8740° E · cell 45MDE
- Highest horizon point
- Daedalus U: 9.5° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 272°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 10°, 6.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 401 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 47.6° under it at azimuth 263°. At 2026-10-22 19:04:44 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.
