Horizon view
Horizon from Maurolycus R
40.9130° S, 16.2184° E · cell 25GFL
- Highest horizon point
- Maurolycus R: 17.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 134°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 631 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.1° high at azimuth 34°, 29.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:11 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.
