Horizon view
Horizon from Maginus C
51.7507° S, 9.5014° W · cell 22FDT
- Highest horizon point
- Maginus C: 8.2° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 326°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,687 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.2° high at azimuth 54°, 24.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:13 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.
