Horizon view
Horizon from Piton B
39.3543° N, 0.1601° W · cell 23SEN
- Highest horizon point
- Piton B: 18.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 56°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 257°, 14.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,218 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.8° high at azimuth 133°, 21.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:19 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.
