Horizon view
Horizon from Porter
56.1468° S, 10.1829° W · cell 22EDM
- Highest horizon point
- Porter: 10.1° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 91°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 26°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,405 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.6° high at azimuth 57°, 13.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:16 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.
