Horizon view
Horizon from Pitatus L
29.0955° S, 8.6811° W · cell 22JEE
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus L: 13.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 203°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 271°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,909 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.2° high at azimuth 65°, 28.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:41 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.
