Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Littrow
22.4678° N, 30.4736° E · cell 27QDT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.5° above the horizontal, 26.3 km away at azimuth 107°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.2 km away at azimuth 104°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,409 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.5° high at azimuth 158°, 60.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:18 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.
