Horizon view
Horizon from Gagarin
19.6576° S, 149.3541° E · cell 42KBG
- Highest horizon point
- Gagarin: 3.1° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 318°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 2°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 130 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 16.7° under it at azimuth 262°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:00 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.
