Horizon view
Horizon from Nasmyth D
49.2257° S, 55.4477° W · cell 16FFA
- Highest horizon point
- Nasmyth D: 23.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 263°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 24°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 999 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.5° under it at azimuth 94°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:50 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.
