Horizon view
Horizon from Hansteen A
12.7564° S, 52.2592° W · cell 16LKE
- Highest horizon point
- Hansteen A: 14.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 299°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 30°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,483 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.4° under it at azimuth 91°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:04 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.
