Horizon view
Horizon from Gauricus D
35.1393° S, 11.4633° W · cell 22HBT
- Highest horizon point
- Gauricus D: 21.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 352°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 111°, 17.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,619 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.7° high at azimuth 66°, 12.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:04 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.
