Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius P
39.3957° S, 13.7425° W · cell 21HHC
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius P: 7.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 223°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 31°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,318 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.6° high at azimuth 66°, 24.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:23 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.
