Horizon view
Horizon from Newton G
78.0759° S, 18.9553° W · cell 21CER
- Highest horizon point
- Newton G: 5.1° above the horizontal, 33.2 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 99.5 km away at azimuth 25°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,307 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.5° high at azimuth 60°, 4.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:17 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.
