Horizon view
Horizon from Metius C
44.2168° S, 49.0699° E · cell 29GFM
- Highest horizon point
- Metius C: 18.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 163°, 13.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,888 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.9° high at azimuth 343°, 35.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:30 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.
