Horizon view
Horizon from Hainzel Y
40.9701° S, 39.8372° W · cell 18GFA
- Highest horizon point
- Hainzel Y: 5.6° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 138°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,385 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.2° high at azimuth 82°, 7.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:49 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.
