Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus J
7.4315° S, 170.9674° W · cell 2MBR
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus J: 9.5° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 9°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 351°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,862 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 58.1° under it at azimuth 255°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:17 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.
