Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Cabeus
83.6700° S, 36.1600° W · cell AVU
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Cabeus: 5.3° above the horizontal, 0.96 km away at azimuth 117°.
- Farthest visible point
- 200 km away at azimuth 339°, -3.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,469 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 2.7° high at azimuth 78°, 1.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:47:32 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.
