Horizon view
Horizon from Hyginus W
9.6227° N, 7.7356° E · cell 24PEB
- Highest horizon point
- Hyginus W: 4.6° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 202°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 337°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,049 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.2° high at azimuth 109°, 58.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:16 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.
