Horizon view
Horizon from Foster P
20.1541° N, 143.5265° W · cell 5QFK
- Highest horizon point
- Foster P: 11.7° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 39°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 68°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,436 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 71.1° under it at azimuth 354°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:17 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.
