Horizon from Le Verrier A
38.1728° N, 17.3213° W · cell 21SDS
- Highest horizon point
- Le Verrier A: 10.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 103°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,745 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.4° high at azimuth 116°, 19.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:00 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.
