Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn B
15.5827° S, 70.9969° E · cell 32LDG
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn B: 7.3° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 224°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 68°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,952 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.9° high at azimuth 289°, 46.6° 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.
