Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro W
1.3268° S, 16.8276° W · cell 21MDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro W: 21.4° above the horizontal, 1.42 km away at azimuth 56°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 114°, 17.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,179 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 91°, 16.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:54 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.
