Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Posidonius
32.0314° N, 29.6056° E · cell 27SCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Posidonius: 3.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 90°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 130°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,464 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.2° high at azimuth 162°, 52.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:25 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.
