Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Hypatia
0.3399° S, 22.7769° E · cell 26MDE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.9° above the horizontal, 18.5 km away at azimuth 156°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 165°, 0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,418 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.7° high at azimuth 93°, 72.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:02:20 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.
