Horizon view
Horizon from Pons N
25.9523° S, 22.9205° E · cell 26JDP
- Highest horizon point
- Pons N: 11.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 293°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 42°, 7.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,336 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.1° high at azimuth 30°, 55.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:01 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.
