Horizon view
Horizon from Catharina D
16.9394° S, 21.4008° E · cell 26KBE
- Highest horizon point
- Catharina D: 10.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 107°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 495 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.9° high at azimuth 49°, 57.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:39 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.
