Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner
60.3532° S, 27.8091° W · cell 20ECM
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner: 9.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 230°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.8 km away at azimuth 166°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,952 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.5° high at azimuth 72°, 8.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:06 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.
