Horizon view
Horizon from Lacus Veris
16.4844° S, 85.9086° W · cell 12KHL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.9° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 97.6 km away at azimuth 188°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 690 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.7° under it at azimuth 104°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:29 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.
