Horizon view
Horizon from Hipparchus B
6.9900° S, 1.7273° E · cell 23MHS
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus B: 6.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,023 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.4° high at azimuth 83°, 48.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:09 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.
