Horizon view
Horizon from Heron (Hero)
0.6525° N, 119.8771° E · cell 38NEF
- Highest horizon point
- Heron (Hero): 9.5° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 128°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 281°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 45 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.9° high at azimuth 269°, 1.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:05 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.
