Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot L
54.2499° S, 83.1465° E · cell 33FHE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.5° above the horizontal, 39.8 km away at azimuth 64°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 9°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,084 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.9° high at azimuth 311°, 24.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:12 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.
