Horizon view
Horizon from Wiechert E
83.5634° S, 176.0168° E · cell BAE
- Highest horizon point
- Wiechert E: 17.5° above the horizontal, 8.88 km away at azimuth 209°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.6 km away at azimuth 350°, 11.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,192 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.2° under it at azimuth 224°. At 2026-10-22 12:24:08 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.
