Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus Z
28.7730° S, 19.5131° W · cell 21JBR
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus Z: 7.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 272°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 84°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,216 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.0° high at azimuth 73°, 25.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:41 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.
