Horizon view
Horizon from Schiller P
53.5810° S, 43.6588° W · cell 18FCF
- Highest horizon point
- Schiller P: 16.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 67°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 101°, 13.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,862 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 83° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.9°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:33 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.
