Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin A
3.2272° S, 67.5593° E · cell 31MKS
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin A: 8.5° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 65°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,871 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.7° high at azimuth 273°, 56.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:26 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.
