Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi L
20.3928° S, 41.7869° W · cell 18KCF
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi L: 17.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 306°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 97°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,196 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 87°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (11.9° high, the skyline 12.0°). 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.
