Horizon view
Horizon from Gassendi Y
20.9095° S, 38.5086° W · cell 18KGE
- Highest horizon point
- Gassendi Y: 11.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 2°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 57°, 8.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,616 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 13.5° high at azimuth 86°, 4.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:04:55 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.
