Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho D
45.5840° S, 14.0664° W · cell 21GGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho D: 11.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 75°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 205°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,802 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.2° high at azimuth 61°, 17.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:49 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.
