Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Calippus
37.0316° N, 12.6597° E · cell 25SBE
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Caucasus: 2.9° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.0 km away at azimuth 335°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,671 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.8° high at azimuth 145°, 45.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:30:37 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.
