Horizon view
Horizon from Swasey
5.4575° S, 89.6704° E · cell 34MHP
- Highest horizon point
- Hirayama Q: 2.7° above the horizontal, 74.9 km away at azimuth 138°.
- Farthest visible point
- 116 km away at azimuth 170°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,873 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.0° high at azimuth 273°, 38.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:39 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.
