Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn A
14.1505° S, 71.2788° E · cell 32LEH
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn A: 10.0° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 353°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 20°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,129 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.1° high at azimuth 287°, 44.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:06 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.
