Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus B
40.3425° S, 11.7400° E · cell 24GJB
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus B: 21.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 183°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,690 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.0° high at azimuth 39°, 24.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:39 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.
