Horizon view
Horizon from Alphonsus H
15.6215° S, 0.5273° W · cell 23LEG
- Highest horizon point
- Alphonsus H: 17.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 40°, 13.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,322 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.3° high at azimuth 73°, 36.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:44 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.
