Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Gerard
45.5396° N, 84.3611° W · cell 12TJF
- Highest horizon point
- Gerard Q Outer: 4.7° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 312°.
- Farthest visible point
- 91.0 km away at azimuth 257°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,609 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 24.2° under it at azimuth 65°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:16 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.
