Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Palmieri
27.8346° S, 47.1700° W · cell 17JFM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 86.2 km away at azimuth 294°, -0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 713 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.8° high at azimuth 88°, 6.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:57 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.
