Horizon from Pontécoulant A
57.6870° S, 62.7936° E · cell 31EEL
- Highest horizon point
- Pontécoulant A: 20.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 71°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 206°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.1° high at azimuth 334°, 14.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:02:00 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.
