Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus D
4.5527° S, 171.4189° W · cell 2MAV
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus D: 8.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 240°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 148°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,559 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 57.0° under it at azimuth 260°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:44 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.
