Horizon view
Horizon from Catharina P
17.2844° S, 23.3213° E · cell 26KEE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.8° above the horizontal, 32.2 km away at azimuth 280°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 134°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,763 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.4° high at azimuth 47°, 63.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:54 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.
