Horizon view
Horizon from Chang'e 4
45.4570° S, 177.5890° E · cell 45GGQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.9° above the horizontal, 50.2 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 130 km away at azimuth 284°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,928 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 43.0° under it at azimuth 168°. At 2026-09-27 05:46:45 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.
