Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot H
51.4980° S, 78.0032° E · cell 33FDH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.8° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 221°.
- Farthest visible point
- 75.8 km away at azimuth 42°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,227 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.0° high at azimuth 315°, 31.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:16 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.
