Horizon view
Horizon from Hildegard K
51.0342° S, 125.4908° E · cell 39FDJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.3° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 350°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 17°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,309 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.1°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:16 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.
