Horizon view
Horizon from Kircher C
66.8684° S, 37.6732° W · cell 18DGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Kircher C: 19.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 175°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 141°, 17.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,555 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 78° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.9°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:29 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.
