Horizon from Marius M
17.3797° N, 55.0143° W · cell 16QGB
- Highest horizon point
- Marius M: 15.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 265°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 42°, 11.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,773 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.4° under it at azimuth 91°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:48 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.
