Horizon view
Horizon from Casatus C
72.2462° S, 30.2890° W · cell 19CFN
- Highest horizon point
- Casatus: 21.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 10°, 19.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,927 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 71° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.5°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:28 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.
