Atuona

French Polynesia

Atuona is the closest city to Perseverance's antipodal point (2,264 km).

The antipodal city to Perseverance is Atuona. This means that, among all the populated locations in the world, the farthest city from Perseverance is Atuona.

The distance from Perseverance to Atuona is about 18,000 kilometers. A direct flight would take around 20 hours, but there aren't commercial routes between these cities.

How to calculate the antipodal point?

The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:

  • LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
  • LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
  • LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
  • LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Perseverance

The DMS coordinates are: 4°36'16'' S 55°27'51.4'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = -4.60445°

LngO = 55.46428°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = 4.60445°

Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 55.46428 - 180° = -124.53572°

Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.

Result:

The antipode of Perseverance is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (4.60445, -124.53572)

In DMS format: 4°36'16'' S 55°27'51.4'' E .
