We aren't at that spot, but in space above and behind it. Our horizon is different to the horizon at the prism, and on the surface there the Earth may well be slightly below the local horizon. Hard to say for certain since this is AI slop and the perspective may be wonky.

That being said, the prism is so tall that it would probably still be at least slightly visible from the Earth.

I would go on on what the Sun's direction tells us about the location, but I think it is too unrealistic to even attempt to deduce something from it
