Horizon view
Horizon from Hipparchus
5.3565° S, 4.9133° E · cell 24MBD
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus: 1.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 193°.
- Farthest visible point
- 104 km away at azimuth 98°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 176 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.7° high at azimuth 85°, 54.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:45 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.
