Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus S
47.7802° S, 27.6257° E · cell 26GHH
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus S: 6.9° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,734 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.9° high at azimuth 13°, 37.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:04:47 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.
