Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius N
41.2101° S, 27.5673° E · cell 26GJQ
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius N: 14.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 1°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,536 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.3° high at azimuth 14°, 36.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:40 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.
