Horizon view
Horizon from Moretus A
70.4169° S, 13.9840° W · cell 21DFE
- Highest horizon point
- Moretus A: 6.3° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 50°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 808 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 12.7° high at azimuth 56°, 7.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:19 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.
