Horizon view
Horizon from Aldrin
1.4059° N, 22.0899° E · cell 26NCG
- Highest horizon point
- Aldrin: 8.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 266°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.08 km away at azimuth 92°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,013 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.0° high at azimuth 99°, 70.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:17:14 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
