Horizon view
Horizon from Gauricus S
33.9106° S, 10.1655° W · cell 22HCU
- Highest horizon point
- Gauricus S: 20.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 348°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,812 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.7° high at azimuth 65°, 18.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:20 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.
