Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus M
41.9351° S, 12.5332° E · cell 25GBK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.1° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 234°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 208°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,259 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.6° high at azimuth 38°, 37.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:53 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.
