Horizon view
Horizon from Gould N
18.3509° S, 17.6888° W · cell 21KDH
- Highest horizon point
- Gould N: 3.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 272°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 190°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,172 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.5° high at azimuth 80°, 31.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:06 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.
