Horizon view
Horizon from Capuanus H
39.4017° S, 27.2694° W · cell 20HBT
- Highest horizon point
- Capuanus H: 14.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 293°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 84°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,643 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.8° high at azimuth 76°, 7.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:35 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.
