Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho V
41.7178° S, 15.4258° W · cell 21GFV
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho V: 12.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 79°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 3°, 10.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 307 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.7° high at azimuth 64°, 15.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:38 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.
