Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus D
39.1755° S, 13.1937° E · cell 25HCN
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus D: 4.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 168°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 342°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 247 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.1° high at azimuth 39°, 43.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:50 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.
