Horizon view
Horizon from Doerfel U
68.7450° S, 117.7311° W · cell 8DFB
- Highest horizon point
- Doerfel U: 9.0° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 153°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 28°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,484 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 17.8° under it at azimuth 153°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:12 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.
