Horizon view
Horizon from Gauricus A
35.6378° S, 13.5731° W · cell 21HHG
- Highest horizon point
- Gauricus A: 3.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 82°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 265°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 810 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.9° high at azimuth 67°, 27.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:22 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.
