Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard J
45.0092° S, 62.4386° W · cell 15GGR
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard J: 15.4° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 88°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 240°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,274 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.5° under it at azimuth 98°. At 2026-10-22 19:30:01 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.
