InSight Distance from Earth
The distance of InSight from Earth is currently 0 kilometers, equivalent to 0.000000 Astronomical Units. Light takes to travel from InSight and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of InSight from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.
The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of InSight from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.
Closest approach of InSight to Earth
Between May 2018 and November 2018 the closest approach of InSight to Earth happens on Sun May 6 2018 at a distance of 0.00120059 Astronomical Units, or 179,605 kilometers:
NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
InSight rise and set times
Location: Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]
Latitude: 51° 28’ 47” N
Longitude: 0° 00’ 00” E
Timezone: Europe/London
Today's InSight rise, transit and set times from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change] are the following (all times relative to the local timezone Europe/London):
The rise and set times are defined as the time at which the upper limb of InSight touches the horizon, considering the effect of the atmospheric refraction. As the atmospheric conditions cannot be modeled precisely the times reported here should be considered correct with an approximation of few minutes.
