Horizon view
Horizon from Cichus
33.2877° S, 21.1825° W · cell 20HHE
- Highest horizon point
- Cichus: 12.9° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 226°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 48°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,140 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.8° high at azimuth 73°, 17.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:26 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.
