Horizon view
Horizon from de Gasparis
25.8331° S, 50.8264° W · cell 17JBP
- Highest horizon point
- de Gasparis: 3.4° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 324°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 183°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 916 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 2.3°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:14 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.
