Horizon view
Horizon from Hind
7.9180° S, 7.3058° E · cell 24MEA
- Highest horizon point
- Hind: 12.8° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 272°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 186°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 15 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.8° high at azimuth 80°, 47.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:14 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.
