Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Somniorum
37.5622° N, 30.8046° E · cell 27SDR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 324°.
- Farthest visible point
- 59.7 km away at azimuth 163°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,821 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.9° high at azimuth 164°, 50.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:43 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.
