Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus H
31.4138° S, 16.0619° E · cell 25JFB
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus H: 8.5° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 340°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 217°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 950 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.2° high at azimuth 37°, 46.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:52 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.
