Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides KB
51.8198° S, 49.0616° W · cell 17FEC
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides KB: 15.2° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 30°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 172°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,401 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 88° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.8°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:36 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.
