Horizon view
Horizon from de Gasparis A
26.7375° S, 51.3731° W · cell 17JBN
- Highest horizon point
- de Gasparis A: 4.8° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 134°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 286°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 522 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.5°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:25 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.
