Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus W
29.1298° S, 17.5498° E · cell 25JGE
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus W: 15.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 132°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 950 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.7° high at azimuth 40°, 47.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:32 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.
