Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Triesnecker
5.1042° N, 4.8329° E · cell 24NBS
- Highest horizon point
- Triesnecker: 0.6° above the horizontal, 33.2 km away at azimuth 232°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.8 km away at azimuth 218°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 426 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.3° high at azimuth 99°, 53.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:36 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.
