Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro D
4.8184° S, 17.6233° W · cell 21MDE
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro D: 22.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 37°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.61 km away at azimuth 77°, 20.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,125 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.1° high at azimuth 89°, 12.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:40:02 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.
