Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Petavius
25.2340° S, 60.4837° E · cell 31JBK
- Highest horizon point
- Petavius: 7.3° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 99.5 km away at azimuth 87°, -1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 32 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.4° high at azimuth 318°, 59.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:46 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.
