Horizon view
Horizon from Hippalus
24.9186° S, 30.4173° W · cell 19JGK
- Highest horizon point
- Hippalus: 3.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 114°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.9 km away at azimuth 325°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,246 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.4° high at azimuth 83°, 15.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:37 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.
