Horizon view
Horizon from Apollo 16
8.9734° S, 15.5011° E · cell 25LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Stone Mountain: 5.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 164°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 323°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 9 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 51.9° under it at azimuth 104°. At 2026-11-11 08:51:43 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.
