Horizon view
Horizon from Riccioli
2.9004° S, 74.4155° W · cell 14MCB
- Highest horizon point
- Riccioli: 6.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 87.2 km away at azimuth 79°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 446 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 25.3° under it at azimuth 93°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:27 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.
