Horizon view
Horizon from Hyginus A
6.3214° N, 5.6642° E · cell 24NCT
- Highest horizon point
- Hyginus A: 13.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 25°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 56°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 746 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.6° high at azimuth 102°, 46.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:29 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.
