Horizon view
Horizon from Heron (Hero) Y
1.4217° N, 119.6886° E · cell 38NEG
- Highest horizon point
- Heron (Hero) Y: 12.9° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 179°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 155°, 12.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 156 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.8°. At 2026-10-22 19:30:08 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.
