Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Hansteen
12.1948° S, 50.2148° W · cell 17LCL
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Hansteen: 4.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 302°.
- Farthest visible point
- 96.7 km away at azimuth 130°, -1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,158 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 2.5° high at azimuth 91°, 4.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:05:02 UTC, when this page was served.
