Horizon view
Horizon from Taurus-Littrow Valley
20.0702° N, 30.7867° E · cell 27QDQ
- Highest horizon point
- South Massif: 13.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.3 km away at azimuth 111°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,663 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.5° high at azimuth 155°, 61.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:58 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
