Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Birt
21.4034° S, 9.2811° W · cell 22KDQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 69°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 159°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,335 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.8° high at azimuth 74°, 36.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:09 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.
