Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus V
29.2134° S, 13.0664° E · cell 25JBE
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus V: 5.9° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 98°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 168°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 78 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.3° high at azimuth 43°, 51.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:20 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.
