Horizon view
Horizon from Maginus A
48.8662° S, 4.4227° W · cell 22FHA
- Highest horizon point
- Maginus A: 13.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 9°, 12.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,882 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.1° high at azimuth 51°, 17.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:10 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.
