Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus E
38.4272° S, 9.7070° E · cell 24HGD
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus E: 8.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 5°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 999 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.3° high at azimuth 41°, 37.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:45 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.
