Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus B
27.1561° S, 17.5434° W · cell 21JDT
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus B: 21.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 354°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 174°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,849 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.1° high at azimuth 72°, 12.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:21 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.
