Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus R
48.7477° S, 28.2817° E · cell 27FCL
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus R: 5.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 315°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,672 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.9° high at azimuth 13°, 37.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:54 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.
