Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus B
47.7932° S, 30.4033° E · cell 27GDN
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus B: 8.9° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 37°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,771 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.2° high at azimuth 9°, 35.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:46 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.
