Horizon view
Horizon from Hainzel W
40.7542° S, 38.6691° W · cell 18GGA
- Highest horizon point
- Hainzel W: 6.2° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 120°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.3 km away at azimuth 172°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 985 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 12.1° high at azimuth 81°, 7.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:48 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.
