Horizon view
Horizon from Cassegrain K
54.4521° S, 113.8829° E · cell 37FGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Cassegrain K: 21.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 158°, 20.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,957 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 281° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.8°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:05 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.
