Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi B
14.6625° S, 40.6409° W · cell 18LEN
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi B: 7.6° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 117°, 5.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,498 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 89°, 6.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:12 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.
