Horizon view
Horizon from Pitatus G
29.8262° S, 11.3774° W · cell 22JBD
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus G: 17.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 197°, 10.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,503 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.7° high at azimuth 70°, 21.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:02 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.
