Horizon view
Horizon from Vallis Snellius
30.9262° S, 57.8382° E · cell 30JGN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 4°.
- Farthest visible point
- 59.7 km away at azimuth 128°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,655 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 328°, 47.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:26 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.
