Horizon view
Horizon from Capuanus D
36.4412° S, 26.3201° W · cell 20HCA
- Highest horizon point
- Capuanus D: 9.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 240°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 81°, 5.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 939 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.6° high at azimuth 75°, 15.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:50 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.
