Horizon view
Horizon from Catharina
17.9802° S, 23.5521° E · cell 26KED
- Highest horizon point
- Catharina: 6.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 237°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 124°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,587 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.1° high at azimuth 48°, 63.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:58 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.
