Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius R
41.4391° S, 30.6581° E · cell 27GDV
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius R: 14.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 834 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.7° high at azimuth 8°, 37.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:46:13 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.
