Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn C
13.3303° S, 70.2489° E · cell 32LCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn A: 2.3° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 124°.
- Farthest visible point
- 64.4 km away at azimuth 343°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,088 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.1° high at azimuth 287°, 53.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:17 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.
