Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi J
21.6218° S, 37.0962° W · cell 18KJD
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi J: 20.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 295°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 173°, 18.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,560 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 16.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 85° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.5°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:53 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.
