Horizon view
Horizon from Kästner C
7.9428° S, 76.8945° E · cell 33MBA
- Highest horizon point
- Kästner C: 13.0° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 270°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 19°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,048 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.8° high at azimuth 277°, 37.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:43 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.
