Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Luxuriae
19.4083° N, 175.5042° E · cell 45QEP
- Highest horizon point
- Buys-Ballot: 3.7° above the horizontal, 55.0 km away at azimuth 4°.
- Farthest visible point
- 127 km away at azimuth 232°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,585 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 42.7° under it at azimuth 287°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:08 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.
