Horizon view
Horizon from Olcott M
17.8757° N, 117.5564° E · cell 38QCG
- Highest horizon point
- Olcott M: 8.5° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 58°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 187°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,725 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.7° high at azimuth 266°, 3.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:32 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.
