Horizon view
Horizon from IM-2
84.7906° S, 29.1957° E · cell BDT
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 4.1° above the horizontal, 16.5 km away at azimuth 118°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.6 km away at azimuth 63°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,320 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.8° high at azimuth 319°, 5.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:37 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
