Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius
37.0250° S, 26.4255° E · cell 26HHA
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius O: 4.2° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 325°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,067 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.9° high at azimuth 24°, 48.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:08 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.
