Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Sosigenes
8.0803° N, 18.7179° E · cell 25PJK
- Highest horizon point
- Sosigenes A: 2.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.0 km away at azimuth 314°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,110 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.0° high at azimuth 113°, 67.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:26 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.
