Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho B
43.9883° S, 13.9224° W · cell 21GGS
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho B: 16.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 59°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 755 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.2° high at azimuth 61°, 19.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:04 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.
