Horizon view
Horizon from Wiechert A
82.3752° S, 168.6353° E · cell BBC
- Highest horizon point
- Wiechert A: 11.6° above the horizontal, 0.08 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.4 km away at azimuth 222°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,609 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.4° under it at azimuth 232°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:15 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
