Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius K
47.3234° N, 73.0131° E · cell 32TFC
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius K: 16.2° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 42°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 136°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,157 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.3° high at azimuth 221°, 21.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:01 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.
