Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi F
15.0263° S, 45.0240° W · cell 17LJG
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi F: 21.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 270°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,666 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.5°. At 2026-10-22 19:30:08 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.
