Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius G
38.3184° S, 14.6148° W · cell 21HGD
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius G: 25.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,616 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.9° high at azimuth 66°, 13.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:51 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.
