Horizon view
Horizon from Dorsa Aldrovandi
23.6059° N, 28.6537° E · cell 27QBU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.2° above the horizontal, 0.24 km away at azimuth 97°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.2 km away at azimuth 340°, -0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,750 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.3° high at azimuth 153°, 59.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:41 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.
