Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Gutenberg
4.4221° S, 36.4186° E · cell 28MAQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 307°.
- Farthest visible point
- 94.8 km away at azimuth 9°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,474 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 84.5° high at azimuth 56°, 85.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:23 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.
