Horizon from Hipparchus X
5.8519° S, 4.8917° E · cell 24MBC
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus: 6.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 207°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 16°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 272 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.7° high at azimuth 84°, 55.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:52 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.
