Horizon view
Horizon from Wichmann D
5.4135° S, 36.1167° W · cell 18MKD
- Highest horizon point
- Wichmann D: 3.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 39°, 2.0° 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: 18.1° high at azimuth 90°, 16.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:22:11 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.
