Horizon view
Horizon from Nearch A
60.1992° S, 40.1598° E · cell 28EFH
- Highest horizon point
- Nearch A: 7.9° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 38°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 207°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,658 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.1° high at azimuth 357°, 24.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:56 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.
