Horizon view
Horizon from Maraldi
19.3606° N, 34.7972° E · cell 27QJP
- Highest horizon point
- Maraldi: 4.2° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 75°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,924 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.9° high at azimuth 168°, 65.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:21 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.
