Horizon view
Horizon from Nearch C
62.1359° S, 35.5139° E · cell 27EGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Nearch C: 7.9° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 67°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,660 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.2° high at azimuth 0°, 24.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:01:47 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.
