Horizon view
Horizon from Catharina A
20.2124° S, 22.2701° E · cell 26KDA
- Highest horizon point
- Catharina A: 14.5° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 11.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 27 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.7° high at azimuth 41°, 54.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:47 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.
