Horizon view
Horizon from Hercules K
44.2603° N, 36.9567° E · cell 28TCP
- Highest horizon point
- Hercules K: 14.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 47°, 12.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,646 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.4° high at azimuth 178°, 30.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:47 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.
