Horizon view
Horizon from Brown A
48.1533° S, 17.4442° W · cell 21FDM
- Highest horizon point
- Brown A: 14.3° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 136°, 11.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 159 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.6° high at azimuth 63°, 12.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:30 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.
