Horizon view
Horizon from Malapert B
78.7907° S, 2.9275° W · cell 23CEK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.1° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 51°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 317°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 705 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.4° high at azimuth 45°, 4.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:14 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.
