Horizon view
Horizon from Gauricus
33.9066° S, 12.7420° W · cell 21HJJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.9° above the horizontal, 35.1 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.1 km away at azimuth 91°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,947 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.2° high at azimuth 69°, 28.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:18 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.
