Horizon view
Horizon from Herodotus E
29.3493° N, 51.5239° W · cell 17RBA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.4° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 295°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.0 km away at azimuth 269°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,167 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.1° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:00 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 10x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 295°.
