Horizon view
Horizon from Lacroix
37.9337° S, 59.2000° W · cell 16HBP
- Highest horizon point
- Lacroix: 7.1° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 193°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,281 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.3° under it at azimuth 94°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:36 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.
