Horizon view
Horizon from Hippalus A
23.8204° S, 32.8524° W · cell 19KEM
- Highest horizon point
- Hippalus A: 17.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 66°, 16.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,305 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 16.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 84° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.3°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:25 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.
