Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus J
30.0916° S, 13.1149° E · cell 25JBD
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus J: 20.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 10°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 110°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 478 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.6° high at azimuth 42°, 36.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:21 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.
