Horizon view
Horizon from Schiller C
55.3676° S, 49.3052° W · cell 17FET
- Highest horizon point
- Schiller C: 8.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 316°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 199°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,478 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 3.2° high at azimuth 88°, 2.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:49 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.
