Horizon view
Horizon from Hipparchus D
4.4652° S, 2.0990° E · cell 23MHV
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus D: 14.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 165°, 11.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 171 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.7° high at azimuth 86°, 40.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:10 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.
