Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot
50.4658° S, 84.8040° E · cell 34FCU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.8° above the horizontal, 73.0 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 107 km away at azimuth 146°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,803 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.5° high at azimuth 308°, 28.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:32 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.
