Horizon view
Horizon from Hyginus
7.7598° N, 6.2700° E · cell 24NCV
- Highest horizon point
- Hyginus: 8.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 340°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 22°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,252 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 105°, 52.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:16 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.
