Horizon view
Horizon from Newton
76.5207° S, 17.4414° W · cell 21CET
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.7° above the horizontal, 47.4 km away at azimuth 50°.
- Farthest visible point
- 88.1 km away at azimuth 207°, -0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,794 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.3° high at azimuth 59°, 3.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:55 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.
