Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus L
42.1094° S, 14.4402° E · cell 25GDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus: 9.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 336°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 327°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,990 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.4° high at azimuth 36°, 37.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:58 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.
