Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner Q
58.7930° S, 28.9013° W · cell 19EGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner Q: 11.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 359°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 243°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 541 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 13.1° high at azimuth 70°, 6.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:52 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.
