Horizon view
Horizon from de Gasparis E
26.4337° S, 49.5394° W · cell 17JDN
- Highest horizon point
- de Gasparis E: 15.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 110°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,311 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.5°. At 2026-10-22 19:30:00 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.
