Horizon from Mons Argaeus
19.3309° N, 29.0068° E · cell 27QBP
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Argaeus: 5.0° above the horizontal, 0.24 km away at azimuth 173°.
- Farthest visible point
- 132 km away at azimuth 18°, -1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,064 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.8° high at azimuth 152°, 64.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:24 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.
