Horizon view
Horizon from Curtius
67.0794° S, 4.4049° E · cell 24DDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Curtius: 15.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 199°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,572 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.5° high at azimuth 39°, 11.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:15 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.
