Horizon from Ranger 8
2.6376° N, 24.7881° E · cell 26NFJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.4° above the horizontal, 5.92 km away at azimuth 30°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 85°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,157 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 43.9° under it at azimuth 90°. At 2026-11-11 08:51:48 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
