Horizon view
Horizon from Kästner E
8.0593° S, 77.6159° E · cell 33LCA
- Highest horizon point
- Kästner E: 14.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 173°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 82°, 11.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,455 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.3° high at azimuth 278°, 40.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:24:57 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.
