Horizon view
Horizon from Littrow P
23.2043° N, 32.8779° E · cell 27QFU
- Highest horizon point
- Littrow A: 4.3° above the horizontal, 27.2 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.5 km away at azimuth 144°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,497 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.5° high at azimuth 164°, 63.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:06 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.
