Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard L
44.1203° S, 59.8039° W · cell 16GBG
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard L: 7.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 23°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 254 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 4.2° under it at azimuth 96°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:16 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.
