Horizon view
Horizon from Wilkins H
28.6692° S, 18.4934° E · cell 25JHF
- Highest horizon point
- Wilkins H: 7.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 16°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 214 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.0° high at azimuth 40°, 49.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:18 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.
