Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm D
41.8845° S, 17.8478° W · cell 21GDV
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm D: 11.9° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 90°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 8°, 8.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,570 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.6° high at azimuth 66°, 15.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:15 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.
