Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin C
1.2547° S, 69.4025° E · cell 32MBD
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin C: 5.2° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 258°, 2.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 983 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.9° high at azimuth 269°, 58.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:25 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.
