Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules B
47.8734° N, 36.7013° E · cell 28TCU
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules B: 13.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 150°, 9.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,640 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.7° high at azimuth 176°, 30.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:45 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.
