Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules E
45.7994° N, 38.6996° E · cell 28TDR
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules E: 25.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 248°.
- Farthest visible point
- 68.2 km away at azimuth 13°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,710 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.8° high at azimuth 179°, 19.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:14 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.
