Horizon view
Horizon from Menelaus A
17.0662° N, 13.3890° E · cell 25QBA
- Highest horizon point
- Menelaus A: 14.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 304°, 12.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,993 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.6° high at azimuth 125°, 48.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:53 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.
