Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius H
37.5112° S, 18.5631° W · cell 21HCE
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius H: 16.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 152°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 33°, 14.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,566 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.9° high at azimuth 69°, 12.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:09 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.
