Horizon view
Horizon from Schiller D
55.0756° S, 49.3572° W · cell 17FEU
- Highest horizon point
- Schiller C: 17.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 4°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 69°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,506 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 88° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.5°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:05 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.
