Horizon view
Horizon from Pitatus
29.8816° S, 13.5269° W · cell 21JHP
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus: 5.2° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 306°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.3 km away at azimuth 111°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,239 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.0° high at azimuth 72°, 30.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:22 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.
