Horizon view
Horizon from Lucretius
8.2224° S, 121.2438° W · cell 8LDR
- Highest horizon point
- Lucretius: 8.8° above the horizontal, 30.3 km away at azimuth 325°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 255°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,010 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 69.9° under it at azimuth 118°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:08 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.
