Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Aestatis
14.8338° S, 68.5697° W · cell 14LKG
- Highest horizon point
- Rocca Q: 2.5° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 54°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 135°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,307 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 18.6° under it at azimuth 97°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:06 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.
