Horizon view
Horizon from Hipparchus K
6.9675° S, 2.1563° E · cell 23MHS
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus K: 23.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 20.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 747 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.6° high at azimuth 82°, 34.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:35 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.
