Horizon view
Horizon from Furnerius Y
34.2041° S, 65.0106° E · cell 31HGU
- Highest horizon point
- Furnerius Y: 18.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 195°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,600 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.5° high at azimuth 319°, 32.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:18 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
