Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Goclenius
7.8353° S, 42.8794° E · cell 28MJL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.8° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 196°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.3 km away at azimuth 127°, -0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,569 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 83.1° high at azimuth 341°, 83.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:55:02 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.
