Horizon view
Horizon from Capella A
7.6753° S, 37.1783° E · cell 28MBL
- Highest horizon point
- Capella A: 21.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 206°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 14°, 17.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,997 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 83.7° high at azimuth 357°, 65.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:35 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.
