Horizon view
Horizon from Peirescius
46.4050° S, 67.7976° E · cell 31GJD
- Highest horizon point
- Peirescius: 7.3° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 212°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 70°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,742 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.2° high at azimuth 324°, 33.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:21 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.
