Horizon view
Horizon from Censorinus U
1.5061° S, 34.4407° E · cell 27MHJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.0° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 71°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,090 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 87.8° high at azimuth 86°, 85.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:42:37 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.
