Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard A
46.8674° S, 53.7106° W · cell 16GGD
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard A: 12.1° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 151°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,501 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.2°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:28 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.
