Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus G
30.6408° S, 15.2402° E · cell 25JEC
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus G: 13.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 22°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 315°, 7.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3 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 38°, 41.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:30:45 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.
