Horizon view
Horizon from Glaisher B
12.4813° N, 50.1450° E · cell 29PHA
- Highest horizon point
- Glaisher B: 15.4° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 56°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 135°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,586 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.0° high at azimuth 224°, 57.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:10 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.
