Horizon view
Horizon from Hecataeus J
22.4727° S, 80.9027° E · cell 33KGC
- Highest horizon point
- Hecataeus J: 23.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 151°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 87°, 21.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,386 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.5° high at azimuth 291°, 25.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:10 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.
