Horizon view
Horizon from Watt W
51.2778° S, 51.9819° E · cell 29FJC
- Highest horizon point
- Watt W: 16.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,072 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.6° high at azimuth 341°, 25.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:21 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.
