Horizon view
Horizon from Pons E
25.8362° S, 23.7650° E · cell 26JEP
- Highest horizon point
- Pons E: 15.2° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 122°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,640 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.1° high at azimuth 35°, 52.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:38:49 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.
