Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Solitudinis
27.5230° S, 103.8764° E · cell 36JES
- Highest horizon point
- Parkhurst Y: 1.4° above the horizontal, 50.2 km away at azimuth 197°.
- Farthest visible point
- 93.8 km away at azimuth 97°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,550 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.8° high at azimuth 282°, 23.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:15 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.
