Horizon view
Horizon from Heraclitus E
49.7367° S, 6.5488° E · cell 24FDK
- Highest horizon point
- Heraclitus: 7.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 30°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,191 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.3° high at azimuth 40°, 31.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:06 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.
