Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Focas
27.6803° S, 97.5415° W · cell 11JDM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 311°.
- Farthest visible point
- 122 km away at azimuth 153°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 332 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.1° under it at azimuth 118°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:17 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.
