Horizon view
Horizon from Nasmyth
50.4863° S, 56.3943° W · cell 16FEU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.0° above the horizontal, 38.9 km away at azimuth 136°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 267°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 442 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.7° under it at azimuth 97°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:58 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.
