Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius B
37.6187° S, 27.6956° E · cell 26HJV
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius B: 13.7° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 293°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,326 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.5° high at azimuth 17°, 40.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:07 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.
