Horizon view
Horizon from Lexell A
36.9199° S, 1.3865° W · cell 23HDA
- Highest horizon point
- Lexell A: 11.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 211°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 9°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,607 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.7° high at azimuth 54°, 32.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:33 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.
