Horizon view
Horizon from Helmholtz S
64.4081° S, 56.7011° E · cell 30DFM
- Highest horizon point
- Helmholtz S: 7.1° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 277°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 323°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,287 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.7° high at azimuth 341°, 23.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:24 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.
