Horizon view
Horizon from Marinus
39.3759° S, 76.5739° E · cell 33HBC
- Highest horizon point
- Marinus B: 5.0° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 172°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,074 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.1° high at azimuth 311°, 35.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:15 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.
