Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus K
46.4140° S, 29.8149° E · cell 27GDP
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus K: 8.0° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 124°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 185°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,674 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.6° high at azimuth 9°, 39.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:19 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.
