Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho A
39.9387° S, 12.0663° W · cell 21HJB
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho A: 11.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 10°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 116°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,568 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.7° high at azimuth 65°, 21.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:47 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.
