Horizon view
Horizon from Schiller R
52.2475° S, 45.8717° W · cell 17FGB
- Highest horizon point
- Schiller R: 12.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 37°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 201°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,001 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.8°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:44 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.
