Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides A
54.5861° S, 51.8022° W · cell 17FCU
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides A: 13.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 106°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 80°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,832 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.4°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:21 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.
