Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn K
13.0788° S, 71.9480° E · cell 32LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn K: 11.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 6°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,960 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.5° high at azimuth 285°, 43.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:20 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.
