Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius F
45.1932° N, 62.8492° E · cell 31TEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius F: 18.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 122°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 51°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,324 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.1° high at azimuth 210°, 29.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:15 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.
