Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Cardanus
11.3175° N, 71.1375° W · cell 14PGU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 327°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 249°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,625 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.0° under it at azimuth 87°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:26 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.
