Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus E
25.2376° S, 13.2626° E · cell 25JBK
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus E: 7.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 265°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 174 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.7° high at azimuth 48°, 51.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:45 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.
