Horizon view
Horizon from Maginus S
49.8191° S, 1.4964° W · cell 23FDE
- Highest horizon point
- Maginus S: 12.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 118°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 330°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,386 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.0° high at azimuth 48°, 21.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:54 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.
