Horizon view
Horizon from Hess
54.4692° S, 174.1868° E · cell 45FDD
- Highest horizon point
- Boyle: 3.5° above the horizontal, 43.6 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 86°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,050 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.2° under it at azimuth 232°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:09 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.
