Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Hesiodus
30.5396° S, 21.8493° W · cell 20JHH
- Highest horizon point
- Cichus N: 6.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 329°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 143°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,383 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.9° high at azimuth 77°, 22.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:36 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.
