Horizon view
Horizon from Petavius B
19.9044° S, 57.0041° E · cell 30KGF
- Highest horizon point
- Petavius B: 11.3° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 69°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,163 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.9° high at azimuth 309°, 50.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:18 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.
