Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Sulpicius Gallus
20.6540° N, 9.9913° E · cell 24QHR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.9° above the horizontal, 35.1 km away at azimuth 277°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.9 km away at azimuth 141°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,225 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.1° high at azimuth 123°, 53.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:17 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.
