Horizon view
Horizon from Grimaldi M
8.0173° S, 67.0952° W · cell 15LBA
- Highest horizon point
- Grimaldi M: 22.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 128°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 223°, 13.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,459 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 15.6° under it at azimuth 94°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:01 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.
