Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus H
7.9346° S, 169.5082° W · cell 2MDR
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus H: 12.5° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 286°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 227°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,683 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 59.8° under it at azimuth 253°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:30 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.
