Horizon view
Horizon from Chang'e 6
41.6385° S, 153.9852° W · cell 4GDK
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Song: 3.1° above the horizontal, 43.6 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 232°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,255 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.6° high at azimuth 300°, 31.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-11-11 08:51:47 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.
