Horizon view
Horizon from von Baeyer
81.8013° S, 61.8738° E · cell BJS
- Highest horizon point
- von Baeyer: 19.4° above the horizontal, 6.32 km away at azimuth 359°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.32 km away at azimuth 48°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,045 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 339° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.2°. At 2026-10-22 10:51:43 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.
