Horizon view
Horizon from Marinus J
39.6165° S, 70.9673° E · cell 32HES
- Highest horizon point
- Marinus J: 12.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 230°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 297°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,637 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.9° high at azimuth 313°, 33.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:47 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.
