Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi N
18.0689° S, 39.3190° W · cell 18KFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi: 4.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 38°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 118°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,295 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.3° high at azimuth 88°, 8.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:34:01 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.
