Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro A
5.4672° S, 20.9634° W · cell 20MJU
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro A: 25.4° above the horizontal, 4.03 km away at azimuth 15°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.50 km away at azimuth 39°, 24.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,122 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.7° high at azimuth 88°, 8.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:30:39 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
