Horizon view
Horizon from Kästner
6.9019° S, 78.9367° E · cell 33MDB
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.2° above the horizontal, 63.5 km away at azimuth 116°.
- Farthest visible point
- 94.8 km away at azimuth 340°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,966 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.8° high at azimuth 277°, 50.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:22 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.
