Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen B
35.6533° N, 38.7470° W · cell 18SGP
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen B: 23.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 33°, 18.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,541 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 99° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.8°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:47 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.
