Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi G
16.7462° S, 44.6675° W · cell 17KJE
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi G: 18.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 344°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 62°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,546 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.3°. At 2026-10-22 19:30:07 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.
