Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Hippalus
25.5976° S, 29.3571° W · cell 19JHJ
- Highest horizon point
- Hippalus: 3.5° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 168°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,703 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.3° high at azimuth 82°, 18.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:17 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.
