Horizon view
Horizon from Kircher D
67.4458° S, 49.9937° W · cell 17DED
- Highest horizon point
- Kircher D: 7.7° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 23°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 622 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.3°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:04 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.
