Horizon view
Horizon from Alphonsus D
15.0508° S, 0.8517° W · cell 23LEG
- Highest horizon point
- Alphonsus D: 8.8° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 9°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 38°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 890 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.9° high at azimuth 74°, 44.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:27 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.
