Horizon view
Horizon from Pons L
27.5173° S, 20.8708° E · cell 26JBM
- Highest horizon point
- Pons L: 13.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 333°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,422 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.8° high at azimuth 33°, 52.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:00 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.
