Horizon view
Horizon from Van der Waals C
41.0494° S, 124.3354° E · cell 39GBA
- Highest horizon point
- Van der Waals C: 9.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 17°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 68°, 8.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,173 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.9° high at azimuth 272°, 0.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:20 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.
