Horizon view
Horizon from Pitatus R
31.2057° S, 14.7273° W · cell 21JGN
- Highest horizon point
- Pitatus R: 10.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 29°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 193°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,098 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 71°, 22.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:37 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.
