Horizon view
Horizon from Hertzsprung S
0.4489° N, 133.4033° W · cell 6NJL
- Highest horizon point
- Hertzsprung S: 8.1° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 226°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 675 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 78.4° under it at azimuth 95°. At 2026-10-22 22:58:50 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.
