Horizon view
Horizon from Kircher E
69.0554° S, 50.3583° W · cell 17DDB
- Highest horizon point
- Kircher E: 21.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 321°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,639 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.7°. At 2026-10-22 14:24:52 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.
