Horizon view
Horizon from Hecataeus L
19.0669° S, 78.9471° E · cell 33KDG
- Highest horizon point
- Hecataeus K: 17.1° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 24°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 338°, 16.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,688 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.5° high at azimuth 289°, 30.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:43 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.
