Horizon view
Horizon from Capuanus
34.0926° S, 26.7316° W · cell 20HCD
- Highest horizon point
- Capuanus: 4.9° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 203°.
- Farthest visible point
- 51.2 km away at azimuth 167°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,086 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.1° high at azimuth 78°, 18.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:32 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.
