Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Plato
50.8791° N, 3.0151° W · cell 23UCG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 289°.
- Farthest visible point
- 104 km away at azimuth 167°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,352 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.0° high at azimuth 130°, 24.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:59 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.
