Horizon view
Horizon from Weigel A
58.7051° S, 37.9792° W · cell 18EGU
- Highest horizon point
- Weigel A: 20.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 22°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 105°, 13.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,686 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 79° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.2°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:24 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.
