Horizon view
Horizon from Cichus A
34.8235° S, 21.5194° W · cell 20HHC
- Highest horizon point
- Cichus A: 13.4° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 212°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 8°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,781 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.2° high at azimuth 72°, 17.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:44 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.
