Horizon view
Horizon from Cavendish N
22.0736° S, 54.4849° W · cell 16KGP
- Highest horizon point
- Cavendish N: 8.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 303°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,273 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.0° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:06 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.
