Horizon view
Horizon from Wichmann
7.5359° S, 38.1297° W · cell 18MHA
- Highest horizon point
- Wichmann: 18.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 222°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 16°, 17.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,297 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:45 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.
