Horizon view
Horizon from Peirescius D
48.1717° S, 72.1058° E · cell 32FFG
- Highest horizon point
- Peirescius D: 6.2° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 228°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 189°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,443 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.9° high at azimuth 317°, 29.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:03 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.
