Horizon view
Horizon from Hansteen L
13.5481° S, 53.1470° W · cell 16LJD
- Highest horizon point
- Hansteen L: 4.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 179°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,909 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.8° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:20 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.
