Horizon from Kapteyn D
14.6059° S, 70.5661° E · cell 32LDH
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn D: 16.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 109°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 157°, 13.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,677 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.7° high at azimuth 288°, 46.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:05 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.
