Horizon view
Horizon from Zucchius
61.3822° S, 50.6484° W · cell 17EDL
- Highest horizon point
- Zucchius: 12.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 294°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 196°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,015 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.5°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:03 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.
