Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius B
21.0712° S, 51.6761° W · cell 17KAV
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius B: 18.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 164°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 298°, 15.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,746 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.3°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:29 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.
