Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus X
27.3961° S, 16.2779° W · cell 21JES
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus X: 2.1° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 278°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 161°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,350 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.5° high at azimuth 72°, 33.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:43:12 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.
