Horizon view
Horizon from Apollo 15
26.1324° N, 3.6333° E · cell 23RJS
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Hadley Delta: 13.3° above the horizontal, 10.9 km away at azimuth 178°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.8 km away at azimuth 239°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,924 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 56.2° under it at azimuth 47°. At 2026-11-11 07:23:15 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.
