Horizon view
Horizon from Maraldi A
20.0199° N, 36.2985° E · cell 28QAE
- Highest horizon point
- Maraldi A: 5.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 313°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,631 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.5° high at azimuth 173°, 63.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:08 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.
