Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius D
40.4015° S, 28.8746° E · cell 27GCA
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius D: 16.3° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 102°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 202°, 13.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,562 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.4° high at azimuth 11°, 34.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:49 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.
