Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro H
4.1487° S, 15.5821° W · cell 21MFE
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro H: 26.4° above the horizontal, 2.13 km away at azimuth 226°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.08 km away at azimuth 55°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,904 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.2° high at azimuth 89°, 12.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:40:15 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.
