Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus W
50.4095° S, 27.6986° E · cell 26FHD
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus W: 7.1° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 35°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.8 km away at azimuth 149°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,576 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.9° high at azimuth 16°, 35.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:04 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.
