Horizon view
Horizon from Palus Epidemiarum
31.9959° S, 27.5433° W · cell 20JBG
- Highest horizon point
- Capuanus: 1.7° above the horizontal, 42.6 km away at azimuth 184°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.0 km away at azimuth 191°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,384 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.8° high at azimuth 79°, 18.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:26 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.
