Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin T
1.8596° S, 65.3440° E · cell 31MGT
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin T: 5.8° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 126°.
- Farthest visible point
- 65.4 km away at azimuth 231°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,755 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.1° high at azimuth 271°, 60.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:49 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.
