Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi T
19.0518° S, 35.4368° W · cell 19KBS
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi T: 6.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 252°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.8 km away at azimuth 38°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,158 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.2° high at azimuth 85°, 15.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:07 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.
