Horizon view
Horizon from Faustini
87.1832° S, 84.3099° E · cell BDN
- Highest horizon point
- Faustini: 10.2° above the horizontal, 18.7 km away at azimuth 27°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.0 km away at azimuth 124°, 7.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,752 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 317° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.7°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:07 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
