Horizon view
Horizon from Hainzel R
38.7549° S, 36.4209° W · cell 18HJC
- Highest horizon point
- Hainzel R: 16.7° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 9°, 12.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,341 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 81° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.2°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:20 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.
