Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Apollonius
4.3881° N, 54.3306° E · cell 30NCR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.6° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 342°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 81°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,226 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 75.5° high at azimuth 247°, 74.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:35 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.
