Horizon view
Horizon from Wilkins A
29.1655° S, 18.8710° E · cell 25JJE
- Highest horizon point
- Wilkins: 13.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 170°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 436 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.1° high at azimuth 39°, 46.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:34:02 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.
