Horizon view
Horizon from Marinus A
39.9155° S, 73.2712° E · cell 32HGS
- Highest horizon point
- Marinus A: 13.9° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 323°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 8°, 12.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,078 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 312°, 27.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:17 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.
