Horizon view
Horizon from Casatus E
77.2516° S, 53.9664° W · cell 16CFG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.6° above the horizontal, 37.1 km away at azimuth 104°.
- Farthest visible point
- 124 km away at azimuth 297°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,644 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:31:59 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.
