Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro X
4.4676° S, 17.3276° W · cell 21MDE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.2° above the horizontal, 13.7 km away at azimuth 79°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.5 km away at azimuth 95°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,359 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.5° high at azimuth 89°, 30.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:42 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.
