Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin N
3.8169° S, 68.3916° E · cell 32MAA
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin N: 7.7° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 105°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 83°, 7.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,624 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 60.8° high at azimuth 274°, 55.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:37 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.
