Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Lenitatis
14.3165° N, 12.0549° E · cell 25PAT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.3° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 333°.
- Farthest visible point
- 78.7 km away at azimuth 118°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 968 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.3° high at azimuth 116°, 57.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:05 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.
