Horizon view
Horizon from Dryden S
33.9697° S, 158.9945° W · cell 3HGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Dryden S: 4.4° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 314°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,169 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 51.2° under it at azimuth 208°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:11 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.
