Horizon view
Horizon from Catharina S
18.9158° S, 23.3731° E · cell 26KEC
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.9° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 53°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,008 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.9° high at azimuth 42°, 65.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:50 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.
