Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules D
44.7869° N, 39.7302° E · cell 28TEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules D: 21.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 59°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 20.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,731 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.9° high at azimuth 180°, 25.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:15 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.
