Horizon view
Horizon from Apollo 15 S-IVB impact
1.2897° S, 11.8245° W · cell 22MAU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.5° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 166°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 216°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,110 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 89.4° high at azimuth 44°, 88.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:35 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.
