Horizon view
Horizon from Grimaldi D
3.6593° S, 65.6498° W · cell 15MDF
- Highest horizon point
- Grimaldi D: 7.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 271°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 154°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,644 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 14.0° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:11 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.
