Horizon view
Horizon from Capella
7.6476° S, 34.9164° E · cell 27MJA
- Highest horizon point
- Capella: 10.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 358°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 107°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,020 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 83.0° high at azimuth 26°, 73.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:42 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.
