Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius C
47.5879° N, 59.6554° E · cell 30THH
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius C: 5.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 226°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 151°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,751 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.9° high at azimuth 206°, 34.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:21 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.
