Horizon view
Horizon from Pons C
27.9644° S, 22.3310° E · cell 26JDM
- Highest horizon point
- Pons C: 13.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 167°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 50°, 10.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 938 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.7° high at azimuth 31°, 51.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:13 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.
