Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus D
29.3895° S, 16.4288° W · cell 21JEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus: 9.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 350°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 102°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,625 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.8° high at azimuth 72°, 22.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:12 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.
