Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius S
37.1505° S, 26.4666° E · cell 26HHV
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius: 7.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 34°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,494 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.6° high at azimuth 20°, 46.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:13 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.
