Horizon view
Horizon from Newton A
80.0510° S, 20.8151° W · cell AVZ
- Highest horizon point
- Newton A: 6.9° above the horizontal, 33.2 km away at azimuth 43°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.2 km away at azimuth 127°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,527 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.0° high at azimuth 62°, 0.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:23 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
