Horizon view
Horizon from Pallas
5.4764° N, 1.6533° W · cell 23NDM
- Highest horizon point
- Pallas: 3.5° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 80.5 km away at azimuth 114°, -1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 189 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.0° high at azimuth 98°, 48.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:14 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.
