Horizon from Fitzgerald
26.6744° N, 172.1362° W · cell 1RKN
- Highest horizon point
- Fitzgerald: 6.9° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 324°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 286°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,099 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 49.3° under it at azimuth 303°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:07 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.
