Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm O
43.1587° S, 17.2594° W · cell 21GDT
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm O: 20.3° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 208°, 17.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,479 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.7° high at azimuth 65°, 6.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:41 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.
