Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Timoris
39.4215° S, 27.9522° W · cell 20HBT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.0° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 77°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,110 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.3° high at azimuth 77°, 17.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:45 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.
