Horizon view
Horizon from Capuanus P
35.4432° S, 28.5917° W · cell 19HJS
- Highest horizon point
- Capuanus P: 5.9° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 51°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 161°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,394 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.3° high at azimuth 79°, 12.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:03 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.
