Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin P
6.1140° S, 69.4491° E · cell 32MBT
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin P: 5.8° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 67°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 129°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,382 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.0° high at azimuth 277°, 52.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:11 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.
