Horizon view
Horizon from Peirescius J
45.0913° S, 66.7519° E · cell 31GHF
- Highest horizon point
- Peirescius J: 17.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 240°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 41°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,562 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.4° high at azimuth 321°, 26.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:20 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.
