Horizon view
Horizon from McClure D
14.8008° S, 51.7372° E · cell 29LKH
- Highest horizon point
- McClure D: 4.4° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 199°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 145°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 382 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.0° high at azimuth 311°, 68.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:00 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.
