Horizon view
Horizon from Wilson A
71.2387° S, 53.7788° W · cell 16DFP
- Highest horizon point
- Wilson A: 15.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 2°, 10.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 717 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.4°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:54 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.
