Horizon view
Horizon from Grimaldi Q
4.7547° S, 64.8741° W · cell 15MDE
- Highest horizon point
- Grimaldi Q: 4.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 144°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 66°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 764 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.3° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:23 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.
