Horizon view
Horizon from Schiaparelli
23.3788° N, 58.8207° W · cell 16QBJ
- Highest horizon point
- Schiaparelli: 9.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 5°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,912 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 8.5° under it at azimuth 88°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:44 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.
