Horizon view
Horizon from Hypatia
4.2502° S, 22.5814° E · cell 26MDV
- Highest horizon point
- Hypatia: 9.8° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 68°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,031 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 75.5° high at azimuth 79°, 73.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:29:58 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.
