Horizon view
Horizon from Peirescius C
46.4703° S, 71.7328° E · cell 32GEJ
- Highest horizon point
- Peirescius C: 8.2° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 337°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 200°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,848 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.3° high at azimuth 317°, 28.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:08 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.
