Horizon view
Horizon from Maclaurin U
4.0376° S, 66.4204° E · cell 31MHR
- Highest horizon point
- Maclaurin U: 16.5° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 314°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 20°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,037 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.8° high at azimuth 275°, 46.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:22 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.
