Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Fresnel
28.1116° N, 3.7277° E · cell 23RJV
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Hadley: 4.3° above the horizontal, 45.0 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.0 km away at azimuth 150°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,976 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.3° high at azimuth 124°, 41.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:25 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
