Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Gruithuisen Gamma
36.5585° N, 40.7213° W · cell 18SEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Gruithuisen Gamma: 1.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 151°.
- Farthest visible point
- 86.2 km away at azimuth 71°, -2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 414 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.9° high at azimuth 97°, 8.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:46:03 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.
