Horizon from Gay-Lussac A
13.1799° N, 20.3798° W · cell 20PKB
- Highest horizon point
- Gay-Lussac A: 17.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 167°, 13.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,890 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.3° high at azimuth 100°, 14.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:11:30 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.
