Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules C
42.7416° N, 35.3598° E · cell 27THB
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules C: 17.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 236°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 54°, 15.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,923 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.9° high at azimuth 177°, 30.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:35 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.
