Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard B
43.7402° S, 52.2512° W · cell 16GJG
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard B: 7.5° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 237°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 81°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,983 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.9°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:22 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.
