Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro K
2.5370° S, 16.8041° W · cell 21MEG
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro K: 8.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 181°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.26 km away at azimuth 7°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,264 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.0° high at azimuth 90°, 33.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:53 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.
