Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Ritter
3.5010° N, 17.9678° E · cell 25NHE
- Highest horizon point
- Dionysius: 1.2° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 220°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 337°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 581 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.6° high at azimuth 102°, 67.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:20 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.
