Horizon view
Horizon from Artsimovich
27.6116° N, 36.6281° W · cell 18RJD
- Highest horizon point
- Artsimovich: 17.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 31°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 16°, 15.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,633 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 98° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.4°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:14 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.
