Horizon from Foster
23.5877° N, 141.4935° W · cell 5QHP
- Highest horizon point
- Foster: 11.0° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 17°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 203°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,770 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 67.7° under it at azimuth 357°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:51 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.
