Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius C
36.2394° S, 28.7655° E · cell 27HBG
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius C: 12.3° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 113°, 8.3° 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: 53.9° high at azimuth 17°, 43.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:47 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.
