Horizon view
Horizon from Grimaldi P
7.9634° S, 68.3722° W · cell 14MKR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 9.7° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 184°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,945 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 16.9° under it at azimuth 94°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:06 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.
