Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius P
20.0233° S, 47.8735° W · cell 17KFA
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius P: 5.4° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 54°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,175 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 90°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (2.6° high, the skyline 2.5°). At 2026-10-22 13:31:05 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 5x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 188°.
