Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho U
41.0822° S, 13.9100° W · cell 21GGA
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho U: 14.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 311°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 102°, 12.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,814 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.6° high at azimuth 66°, 14.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:38 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.
