Horizon view
Horizon from Kästner B
6.2503° S, 80.7108° E · cell 33MFC
- Highest horizon point
- Kästner B: 15.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 137°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,969 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.2° high at azimuth 275°, 36.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:45 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.
