Horizon view
Horizon from Epimenides S
41.7088° S, 29.4404° W · cell 19GHK
- Highest horizon point
- Epimenides S: 13.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 70°, 3.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,603 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.5° high at azimuth 75°, 14.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:07 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.
