Horizon view
Horizon from Aitken A
13.8668° S, 173.4636° E · cell 45LCP
- Highest horizon point
- Aitken A: 20.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 99°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 343°, 19.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 879 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.6° under it at azimuth 255°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:14 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.
