Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius M
50.8497° N, 74.1208° E · cell 32UGG
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius M: 7.5° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 36°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 151°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,007 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.1° high at azimuth 223°, 23.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:40 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.
