Horizon view
Horizon from Pitatus J
26.5307° S, 13.5778° W · cell 21JHT
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus J: 12.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 18°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 79°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.5° high at azimuth 70°, 27.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:45:57 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.
