Horizon view
Horizon from Galilaei W
17.8336° N, 60.6057° W · cell 15QJM
- Highest horizon point
- Galilaei W: 13.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,507 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 11.5° under it at azimuth 88°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:26 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.
