5.8852° N, 81.6095° W · cell 13NDH
- Highest horizon point
- Olbers W: 13.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 17°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 26°, 13.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,397 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 27.1° under it at azimuth 89°. At 2026-10-22 22:06:41 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.
