Horizon view
Horizon from Rost M
55.5003° S, 31.5218° W · cell 19FFN
- Highest horizon point
- Rost M: 10.1° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 314°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 202°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,156 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 13.7° high at azimuth 72°, 5.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:52 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.
