Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi P
17.2928° S, 40.7531° W · cell 18KEK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.5° above the horizontal, 31.3 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 72.0 km away at azimuth 70°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,372 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.9° high at azimuth 88°, 7.1° 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.
