Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus C
30.1155° S, 15.4304° E · cell 25JED
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus C: 13.5° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 119°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 339°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 267 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.6° high at azimuth 40°, 47.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:27 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.
