Horizon view
Horizon from Hyginus E
8.7548° N, 8.5215° E · cell 24PFA
- Highest horizon point
- Hyginus E: 5.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 282°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 941 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.8° high at azimuth 108°, 55.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:49:30 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.
