Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Taruntius
5.8258° N, 46.8276° E · cell 29NDN
- Highest horizon point
- Taruntius: 2.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 25°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 222°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,277 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 78.6° high at azimuth 231°, 77.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:18 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.
