Horizon view
Horizon from de Gasparis C
26.2373° S, 51.8160° W · cell 17JAP
- Highest horizon point
- de Gasparis C: 14.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 899 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.3°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:43 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.
