Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm X
40.8631° S, 20.0061° W · cell 20GJR
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm X: 8.8° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 195°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 60°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 838 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.3° high at azimuth 69°, 22.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:16 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.
