Horizon view
Horizon from Curtius B
63.7570° S, 4.6297° E · cell 24EDN
- Highest horizon point
- Curtius B: 9.6° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 167°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,704 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.5° high at azimuth 39°, 13.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:04 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.
