Horizon view
Horizon from Gilbert J
4.3170° S, 72.6648° E · cell 32MFV
- Highest horizon point
- Gilbert J: 10.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 277°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,742 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.3° high at azimuth 274°, 48.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:18 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.
