Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Tenebrarum
86.7100° S, 87.6700° W · cell AWN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.9° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 209°.
- Farthest visible point
- 104 km away at azimuth 37°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,409 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.6° under it at azimuth 127°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:26 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
