Horizon view
Horizon from Alphonsus K
12.6100° S, 0.1149° W · cell 23LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Alphonsus K: 6.4° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.1 km away at azimuth 17°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 558 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 77°, 47.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:04 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.
