Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi A
15.5509° S, 39.7968° W · cell 18LFM
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi A: 12.3° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 81°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,259 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.9° high at azimuth 88°, 0.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:55 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.
