Horizon view
Horizon from Malapert E
83.9404° S, 19.8292° E · cell BCU
- Highest horizon point
- Malapert E: 20.7° above the horizontal, 6.40 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.8 km away at azimuth 148°, 12.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,002 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 22° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.3°. At 2026-10-22 10:45:36 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
