Horizon view
Horizon from Plato B
53.1029° N, 17.2963° W · cell 21UEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Plato B: 8.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 32°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,761 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.5° high at azimuth 121°, 12.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:09 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.
