Horizon from Riccioli Y
3.0420° S, 73.3461° W · cell 14MDB
- Highest horizon point
- Riccioli: 6.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 249°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 53°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 605 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.0° under it at azimuth 93°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:46 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.
