Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius
39.4810° S, 17.8249° W · cell 21HDC
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius: 7.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 67°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 258°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,668 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.5° high at azimuth 70°, 17.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:52 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.
