Horizon view
Horizon from Plato E
49.7663° N, 16.1880° W · cell 21UEL
- Highest horizon point
- Plato E: 18.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 151°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,798 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.8° high at azimuth 119°, 3.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:07 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.
