Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius D
23.1646° S, 46.8397° W · cell 17KGS
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius D: 5.2° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 314°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 251°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,606 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.6° high at azimuth 90°, 1.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:32 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.
