Horizon view
Horizon from Grissom
46.9237° S, 147.9765° W · cell 5GBJ
- Highest horizon point
- Grissom: 7.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 304°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 38°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,580 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.1° under it at azimuth 192°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:50 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.
