Horizon view
Horizon from Maginus Y
51.9555° S, 9.1838° W · cell 22FET
- Highest horizon point
- Maginus C: 16.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 165°, 13.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,466 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.4° high at azimuth 54°, 11.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:14 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.
