Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules G
46.4646° N, 39.2763° E · cell 28TES
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules: 23.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 28°, 21.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,497 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.2° high at azimuth 178°, 20.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:56 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.
