Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm P
40.9092° S, 20.5199° W · cell 20GJR
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm P: 10.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 131°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 192°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 845 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.7° high at azimuth 70°, 13.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:39:27 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.
