Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin L
1.4066° S, 71.4811° E · cell 32MED
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin L: 8.3° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 287°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 95°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,620 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.9° high at azimuth 270°, 48.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:50 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.
