Horizon view
Horizon from Aristarchus H
22.6143° N, 45.7441° W · cell 17QHN
- Highest horizon point
- Aristarchus H: 5.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 153°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,726 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.5° high at azimuth 94°, 1.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:30 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.
