Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Ampère
19.3239° N, 3.7095° W · cell 23QAJ
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Huygens: 5.2° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 73°.
- Farthest visible point
- 134 km away at azimuth 339°, -3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 798 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.3° high at azimuth 113°, 42.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:35 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.
