Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot A
48.9934° S, 79.9385° E · cell 33FEL
- Highest horizon point
- Lyot A: 7.7° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 71°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 103°, 5.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,100 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.3° high at azimuth 311°, 25.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:12 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.
