Horizon view
Horizon from Hess Z
52.0776° S, 173.7058° E · cell 45FDG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.6° above the horizontal, 35.1 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.3 km away at azimuth 112°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,263 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 23.4° under it at azimuth 233°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:22 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.
