Horizon view
Horizon from Gay-Lussac N
12.6213° N, 20.9197° W · cell 20PJA
- Highest horizon point
- Gay-Lussac N: 4.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 293°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 157°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,344 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.2° high at azimuth 103°, 36.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-23 14:13:40 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.
