Horizon view
Horizon from Aristarchus B
26.2787° N, 46.8459° W · cell 17RGS
- Highest horizon point
- Aristarchus B: 21.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,485 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:02 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.
