Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot C
50.4826° S, 80.1121° E · cell 33FFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Lyot C: 16.4° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 15.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,915 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.2° high at azimuth 312°, 14.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:08 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.
