Horizon view
Horizon from Scott E
81.1700° S, 35.7005° E · cell BGW
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 13.8° above the horizontal, 16.6 km away at azimuth 277°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.8 km away at azimuth 324°, 11.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,222 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 5°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (10.2° high, the skyline 10.1°). At 2026-10-22 12:39:44 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
