Horizon from Mons Vitruvius
19.3335° N, 30.7353° E · cell 27QDP
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Vitruvius: 8.3° above the horizontal, 5.45 km away at azimuth 211°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.8 km away at azimuth 266°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,186 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.5° high at azimuth 156°, 65.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:12 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.
