Horizon view
Horizon from Messier D
3.5897° S, 46.3220° E · cell 29MCA
- Highest horizon point
- Messier D: 19.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 283°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,889 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.8° high at azimuth 282°, 60.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:14:18 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.
