Horizon view
Horizon from Littrow
21.5037° N, 31.3941° E · cell 27QES
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.8° above the horizontal, 21.1 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 58.8 km away at azimuth 184°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,328 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.1° high at azimuth 162°, 64.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:28 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
