Horizon view
Horizon from Chernyshev B
48.2985° N, 176.0109° E · cell 45UFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Chernyshev B: 14.9° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 639 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 30.8° under it at azimuth 309°. At 2026-10-22 16:56:57 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.
