Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius Q
39.8880° S, 14.5447° W · cell 21HGB
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius P: 7.9° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 6°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 193°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,327 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.6° high at azimuth 66°, 21.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:56 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.
