Horizon view
Horizon from Plato J
49.0465° N, 4.5837° W · cell 22UHV
- Highest horizon point
- Plato J: 20.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 69°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 19°, 19.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,563 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.6° high at azimuth 130°, 8.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:19 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.
