Horizon view
Horizon from Petavius C
27.7198° S, 59.9702° E · cell 30JKS
- Highest horizon point
- Petavius C: 21.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,951 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.8° high at azimuth 319°, 35.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:41 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.
