Horizon view
Horizon from Kepler A
7.1376° N, 36.1220° W · cell 18NKU
- Highest horizon point
- Kepler A: 22.1° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 104°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 238°, 19.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,651 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 18.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 94° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.7°. At 2026-10-22 22:02:18 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.
