Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus R
28.1972° S, 15.6087° E · cell 25JEF
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus R: 10.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 219°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 288°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,290 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.6° high at azimuth 45°, 50.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:54 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.
