Horizon view
Horizon from Marius D
11.4045° N, 45.0680° W · cell 17PJU
- Highest horizon point
- Marius D: 20.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 86°, 17.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,786 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.6°. At 2026-10-22 20:27:09 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.
