Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Carmen
19.9548° N, 29.2980° E · cell 27QBQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.1° above the horizontal, 15.4 km away at azimuth 33°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.6 km away at azimuth 150°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,509 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.5° high at azimuth 154°, 64.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:54 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.
