Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn E
8.8309° S, 69.2620° E · cell 32LBQ
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn E: 4.5° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 77.7 km away at azimuth 52°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,115 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.9° high at azimuth 281°, 55.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:37 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.
