Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi W
17.6558° S, 43.7326° W · cell 18KAJ
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi W: 9.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 180°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,747 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.2° high at azimuth 88°, 2.1° above the skyline there. 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.
