Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Marcello
18.5895° N, 27.7389° E · cell 26QKH
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Argaeus: 2.3° above the horizontal, 37.7 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.1 km away at azimuth 83°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,612 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.7° high at azimuth 152°, 67.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:14 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.
