Horizon view
Horizon from Michelson H
4.3523° N, 117.4811° W · cell 8NJL
- Highest horizon point
- Michelson H: 7.1° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 206°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,814 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 63.6° under it at azimuth 84°. At 2026-10-22 20:27:20 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.
