Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin O
0.1354° S, 67.5567° E · cell 31MKV
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin O: 6.7° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 278°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 223°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,709 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 267°, 55.7° 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.
