Horizon view
Horizon from Aitken N
17.6311° S, 172.7386° E · cell 45KBJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.6° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 155°.
- Farthest visible point
- 96.7 km away at azimuth 38°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,377 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 39.9° under it at azimuth 253°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:06 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.
