Horizon from Horrocks U
3.1863° S, 4.7370° E · cell 24MBG
- Highest horizon point
- Horrocks U: 6.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 92°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.9 km away at azimuth 194°, -1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 706 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.5° high at azimuth 88°, 51.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:14 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.
