Horizon view
Horizon from Spudis
89.5100° S, 84.6100° W · cell AZN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 18.6° above the horizontal, 8.00 km away at azimuth 276°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 168°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,384 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 126° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.3°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:13 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
