Horizon view
Horizon from Glaisher V
11.0037° N, 50.0015° E · cell 29PHU
- Highest horizon point
- Glaisher V: 8.1° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 278°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.9 km away at azimuth 112°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,484 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 72.2° high at azimuth 227°, 66.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:36 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.
