Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan A
38.6359° N, 38.7850° W · cell 18SGS
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan A: 17.4° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 132°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 12°, 14.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,615 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.1°. 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.
