Horizon from Wiechert J
85.2019° S, 177.6370° W · cell AZG
- Highest horizon point
- Wiechert J: 11.8° above the horizontal, 16.6 km away at azimuth 278°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.7 km away at azimuth 227°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,373 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.4° under it at azimuth 218°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:18 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.
