Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard P
42.9108° S, 48.4989° W · cell 17GEP
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard P: 2.5° above the horizontal, 32.2 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 74.9 km away at azimuth 28°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 458 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 1.3° high at azimuth 91°, 1.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:09 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.
