Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Alphonsus
13.4032° S, 1.9428° W · cell 23LCJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.1° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 67°.
- Farthest visible point
- 83.4 km away at azimuth 178°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,431 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 78°, 42.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:25 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.
