Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus H
38.2957° S, 10.3873° E · cell 24HHD
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus H: 8.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 298°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 886 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°, 38.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:40 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.
