Horizon view
Horizon from La Caille E
23.4462° S, 2.7478° E · cell 23KJS
- Highest horizon point
- La Caille E: 15.4° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 34°, 6.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,066 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.8° high at azimuth 64°, 39.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:29:57 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.
