Horizon view
Horizon from Vallis Palitzsch
26.1635° S, 64.6374° E · cell 31JFJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 16.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 107°.
- Farthest visible point
- 84.3 km away at azimuth 190°, -0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,670 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.4° high at azimuth 314°, 52.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:32 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.
