Horizon view
Horizon from Wichmann R
6.6446° S, 38.9536° W · cell 18MGB
- Highest horizon point
- Wichmann R: 1.3° above the horizontal, 32.2 km away at azimuth 20°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 60°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,007 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.1° high at azimuth 90°, 10.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:20 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.
