Horizon view
Horizon from Heraclitus D
50.5062° S, 5.1398° E · cell 24FCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Heraclitus D: 6.6° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 141°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 351°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,826 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.2° high at azimuth 44°, 29.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:16 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.
