Horizon view
Horizon from Malapert F
81.5259° S, 14.7265° E · cell BCX
- Highest horizon point
- Malapert F: 23.9° above the horizontal, 5.20 km away at azimuth 299°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.60 km away at azimuth 119°, 21.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 347 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 27° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.6°. At 2026-10-22 10:51:42 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.
