Horizon view
Horizon from Marius A
12.5961° N, 46.0434° W · cell 17PHA
- Highest horizon point
- Marius A: 19.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 210°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,471 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.4°. At 2026-10-22 19:42:58 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.
