Horizon view
Horizon from Maraldi D
16.7446° N, 36.0772° E · cell 28QAA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.1° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 227°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,126 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.2° high at azimuth 164°, 71.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:14 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.
