Horizon view
Horizon from Casatus D
76.8881° S, 43.3033° W · cell 18CES
- Highest horizon point
- Casatus D: 9.7° above the horizontal, 12.6 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 141°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 410 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 83° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.6°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:42 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
