Horizon view
Horizon from Young C
41.5591° S, 48.2428° E · cell 29GFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Young C: 10.9° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,268 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.8° high at azimuth 345°, 41.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:00 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.
