Horizon view
Horizon from Mallet J
48.7877° S, 55.9852° E · cell 30FEL
- Highest horizon point
- Mallet J: 6.3° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 329°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 117°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,837 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.9° high at azimuth 340°, 35.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:41 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.
