Horizon from Mons Gruithuisen Delta
36.0678° N, 39.5899° W · cell 18SFP
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Gruithuisen Delta: 0.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 286°.
- Farthest visible point
- 101 km away at azimuth 76°, -2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 291 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.8° high at azimuth 97°, 10.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:46:05 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.
