Horizon view
Horizon from Short
74.5370° S, 7.6840° W · cell 22CFK
- Highest horizon point
- Short: 8.7° above the horizontal, 32.2 km away at azimuth 248°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.8 km away at azimuth 190°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,737 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.5° high at azimuth 50°, 6.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:20 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.
