Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Pitatus
29.8352° S, 13.6234° W · cell 21JHP
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus: 7.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 309°.
- Farthest visible point
- 90.0 km away at azimuth 140°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,192 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.2° high at azimuth 72°, 30.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:55:01 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.
