Horizon view
Horizon from Ostwald Y
13.4904° N, 121.2121° E · cell 38PGB
- Highest horizon point
- Ostwald Y: 9.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 204°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 93°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,652 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.0° high at azimuth 267°, 2.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:05 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.
