Horizon view
Horizon from Vallis Bouvard
38.4497° S, 82.3204° W · cell 13HCP
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.5° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.3 km away at azimuth 343°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 403 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 24.3° under it at azimuth 113°. At 2026-10-22 11:55:01 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.
