Horizon view
Horizon from de Gasparis B
27.0546° S, 52.6483° W · cell 16JJH
- Highest horizon point
- de Gasparis B: 23.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 141°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 36°, 19.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,163 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 22.4°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:44 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.
