Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm M
43.9574° S, 17.3660° W · cell 21GDS
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm M: 16.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 510 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.3° high at azimuth 65°, 11.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:40 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.
