Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius J
75.8634° S, 8.1142° E · cell 24CFU
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius J: 25.0° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 160°, 21.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 54 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 31°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (13.5° high, the skyline 13.5°). At 2026-10-22 16:16:39 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.
