Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides X
50.5239° S, 50.7745° W · cell 17FCD
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides X: 20.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 340°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,421 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.6°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:34 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.
