Horizon view
Horizon from Hansteen E
10.6167° S, 50.5953° W · cell 17LBN
- Highest horizon point
- Hansteen E: 3.4° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 318°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.3 km away at azimuth 165°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,022 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.1° high at azimuth 91°, 4.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:18 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.
