Horizon view
Horizon from Wiechert U
83.4300° S, 149.0414° E · cell BEF
- Highest horizon point
- Wiechert U: 10.4° above the horizontal, 11.5 km away at azimuth 323°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.9 km away at azimuth 200°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,214 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.8° under it at azimuth 251°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:12 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.
