Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus Y
28.3248° S, 17.2859° W · cell 21JDR
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus Y: 3.7° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 130°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 341°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,244 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.4° high at azimuth 72°, 30.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:43:13 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.
