Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus O
26.0958° S, 14.0930° E · cell 25JCJ
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus O: 14.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 19°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 341 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.3° high at azimuth 47°, 47.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:22 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.
