Horizon view
Horizon from Ranger 4
15.5000° S, 130.7000° W · cell 7LBB
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 10.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 299°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 150°, -1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,137 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.8° under it at azimuth 99°. At 2026-09-27 05:46:51 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.
