Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus D
25.9318° S, 13.2198° E · cell 25JBJ
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus D: 14.1° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 203°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,240 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.2° high at azimuth 47°, 43.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:00 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.
