Horizon view
Horizon from Hale Q
76.4655° S, 83.9342° E · cell 33CGT
- Highest horizon point
- Hale Q: 17.9° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 35°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 172°, 16.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,300 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 313° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:19 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.
