Horizon view
Horizon from Daedalus W
3.3374° S, 177.4609° E · cell 45MGF
- Highest horizon point
- Daedalus W: 6.1° above the horizontal, 32.2 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 52°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 596 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 265°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:48 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.
