Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro Y
4.1050° S, 16.7414° W · cell 21MEF
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro Y: 19.9° above the horizontal, 1.42 km away at azimuth 201°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.13 km away at azimuth 59°, 13.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,445 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°, 18.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:47 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.
