Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi M
18.6079° S, 39.1454° W · cell 18KFH
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi M: 6.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 351°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 46°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,438 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.4° high at azimuth 88°, 6.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:59 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.
